Premiere Pro... 2 Channel Audio Question... |
|
|
Hi,
I have recently recorded an interview using a Sony PDX10P DVCAM, using
the onboard MIC as Channel 1, and a seperate Boom MIC for Channel 2.
Having imported this into Premiere Pro, it now correctly shows the two
channels as a Stereo Audio 1 Track. However it sounds odd with the
sound from the onboard camera coming out of the left speaker, and the
interviewees voice coming out the the right speaker. Can I choose a
option in Premiere Pro to balance these two channels over both
speakers?
I am a bit of a newbie, is this the correct way I should have recorded
the sound for this interview, or should I have just used the Boom MIC
as one stereo track?
Many thanks for any help,
Neil

I don't recall a specific option that will do that in one
click (there could be because there are millions of options
in Premiere). But it's easy enough to do manually. Just
unlink the audio from the video, copy the audio, paste it
into a new audio track so you have two copies of the same
audio. Then, in one copy tell it to duplicate the left
channel (making it a mono representation of the left
channel), and in the other, tell it to duplicate the right
channel. You'll end up with both audio tracks being
in the center of the sound stage. You may want to apply
some audio effects to these. Perhaps pan them slightly
from center or add some reverb to one or both to give
them a little more spacial feel. Sometimes having two
audio track occupying the exact center of the soundstage
can make them hard to hear clearly when played back on
a stereo or multi-channel system.

Yes. Copy the audio to a second track, so you have two identical audio
tracks. Use the audio filter "Fill Right" on one and "Fill Left" on the
other. You'll wind up with two mono tracks, one containing the audio from
the left track, the other containing the audio from the right track. You
can then set levels as you like.

There's no reason not to use the separate tracks as you did.

Premiere 6.5 had an option (right mouseclick on the file, audio
options, take left/right sound.)
Can't imagine they lost this in the newer version. |

They didn't. They made things like that more uniformly "filters"
rather than scattering them around underneath pop-up menus.
It was briefly a pain to find and use the "filters", but now it makes
much more sense. The way 6.5 did it really seems capricious and
random in hindsight. |
