Working with 2 tracks of Audio from a wedding, Groom Mic and Ambient?

Hi,
I am working on a wedding where the Groom is at the Alter and he is wearing a Lav. Mic on his jacket.
This is plugged into Channel 2 on the camera.
Channel 1 channel is just ambient.
I brought the footage in as 2 Mono Tracks ao I can separate the channels.
When they were on the timeline, I Unlinked all of the tracks. I then deleted Track 1 off of the timeline (Ambient), I copied and Pasted Audio Track 2 onto Audio Track V1 so both tracks are now the Mic on the Grooms jacket.
His audio was up and down so I had to make razor blade cuts before he spoke everytime to fix his levels. I then went into Audio Gain and, depending on how loud or soft he was, I adjusted the Audio gain volume in the dialog box for everytime he spoke.
Was this the best way to do this?
Is there a better way to separate the channels and do what I just did to get the levels right?
Is there a way to Highlight all of his clips, His clips only, and tell Premiere Pro CS 5.5 to make all his levels at -6? That would be the best option. Then, if neccessary, I can just go in and tweak a few that still were too loud or soft.
I come from FCP 7
Thanks in advance

I copied and Pasted Audio Track 2 onto Audio Track V1 so both tracks are now the Mic on the Grooms jacket.
Instead of duplicating channels (I am assuming
you did this in order to center the groom's audio)
Fill Left effect, Fill Right effect

Have you considered making the overall adjustment in
the Audio Mixer instead of on the tracks themselves?

Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.

Hi!
I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
Small fix has slightly helped:
I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.

First of all, thank you for replying my message!
I will go and try to answer best I can.
Source media properties:
Progressive frame rate, I record this from a game.
Recording program: dxtory
codec: Lagarith Lossless codec
Format: avi
Frame width: 1920
Frame height: 1080
Data rate: 1990656kbps
total bit rate 1992192kbps
Frame rate 30/frames/seccond
Audio of video properties:
Codec: PCM
Format: 16bit, stereo
Bit rate: 1536kbps
Channels: 2(stereo)
Audio sample rate 48 kHz
In addition to that I use wav files for music and narrate
Music files sizes 20-50mb
bit rate: ~1411kbps
In total sizes of audio involved is usually something like 300mb
What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
I opened new project and this is what i got:
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
Audio is 48000 Hz
(I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
..and same audio settings
Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody!

CS3 Multicam Multiple Audio tracks, only audio from Cam 1 plays

In Premiere CS3 I have 4 Cam edit I have all tracks, video and audio on main timeline. I also have audio from a DAT recorder on a seperate audio track. Everything is sync'd. I created my multicam edit sequence and nested my edit sequence into it. How can I get the audio track from the DAT to work on the nested sequence? It seems that the only audio I hear is that from Camera 1. What I would like to have is the audio from camera 3 AND the DAT recording. It is a live music performance and I want the audio captured from the House mixer which is really clean but I would also like to have the audio from oner of the cameras for ambient house sound. You know, sing alongs, yelling and clapping. After all, it IS a IVE performance. Any suggestions?
Greg

Hi,
See also my posting on the issue "Multicam is extrmely slow".
In short:
Make a timeline with all sources and sync them all, make sure everything is ok.
Then make a copy of this timeline and disable all video except one (for reference). Name it "Sound"
Move all soundtracks of your first timeline down to free soundtrack one.
Drag the sound track of "Sound" to track 1 of the first timeline. Then go on with the normal method for multicam (new timeline "Target", drag Source on it and enable multicam)
Any adjustmentsa needed in the sound can now be done in one place; Time line "Sound"
For performance reasons it might me better to drag the sound track of "Sound" directly to "Target" and disable soundtrack 1 (from Source). Disadvantage then is that removing parts from this multicam timeline needs the same removal from the soundtrack (on 2).
Hmmm, now I am writing this, can I unlink in Target the video and soundtrack and link soundtrack 2 to videotrack 1? Have to try that.

Hi, I have an iTunes account on my laptop set up to work with my old iPod. I now have an iPad and new iPod but set up under a different account- can I put all the songs from my iTunes onto the new devices. Thanks.

HT1386 I recently purchased an album from itunes. When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it. Any ideas what to try?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Hello. Layer masks aren't working with Photoshop CC... The brushes gave out, and now the gradients too. Anyone else have this problem?

Hello. Layer masks aren't working with Photoshop CC... The brushes gave out, and now the gradients too. Anyone else have this problem?
Will someone from Adobe please answer if this is a bug.. as I've seen other users post the same issue.
thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue too. I can't see to use the brush in my clipping mask the same way. It works for a moment, then several minutes in to production it ends up crashing.
I hope this issue is resolved soon. It's definitely frustrating and delaying my production time.

I want to use the audio from one of my clips and the video of another can I do this?

I have two different video clips that I took from my still camera. I want to use the audio from one of the clips and the video from the other at the same time in imovie can I do this and if yes how

Yes.
First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Now, drag the clip with the Video into the project.
Drag the clip with the Audio and drop it on the first clip at the frame where you want it to begin. A popup menu should appear. Choose Audio Only. You may then want to open Inspector for the video clip (by clicking the little gear icon at the top left of the clip) and going to the audio tab. Here you can turn down the volume of the video clip, so that all you hear is the audio clip.
Another way. Put the video clip that has the Audio you want in first. Then drag the clip with the video you want and drop it on the clip that has the audio you want. A popup menu will appear. Choose CUTAWAY.

my Extensis suitcaseX 11.0.4 is no longer working with my system OSX10.6.8, what is the best and cheapest font management software to use that's compatible with this system and my existing CS design software?

If you upgraded to Snow Leopard, then it would seem that Suitcase 11 is not compatible with Snow Leopard and you'd need to buy Suitcase Fusion 3 for $99.95.

My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station.....3 other apple devices work with no such problem...i.e nano ,classic and 2x separate iphones, with no problems .I have been given a 2nd ipod touch replacement, it plays with interference

ipod problems
My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station....3 other apple devices work with no such problems, i.e a nano. a classic and 2 separate iphones so the problem doesn't seem to be the docking station...I have been given 2 reolacement ipods and the sound persists....it is obviously the connection.....as before downloading any data on the new ipod I docked it and the noise was present ....mairiskye....

- Is it a 4G iPod? That model sometimes mates poorly with dock because the configuration of the iPod by the dock connector is different that other devices. Thus, make sure it is fulld/seated in the dock.
- Have you brought the iPod and dock to the Genius at the an Apple store.
