  • audio stereo, recorded on 1 chanel. A1 nothing!

    Posted by Tielman Dewaele on May 4, 2009 at 10:42 pm

    Hey,

    Im working on edit in Final cut pro, where i suddenly noticed there is no audio in my left speaker. A1= no wave A2= wave (stereo)
    So they recorded it wrong on 1 channel.
    All the interview parts are like that. Is there a way to fix this problem. There is no option to re-record.
    Can someone help me?

    Hello Tielman and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum,

    This is more a FCP question than an audio question.

    Try unlinking the audio and tossing the unrecorded channel. Then you’ll have a mono track. Use the MIXER console in FCP to pan the track to the center.

    Regards,

    Eh!!!

    FCp doesnt record stereo. Only multiple mono tracks that CAN be paired together to give a stereo pair. Of its on 1 track only, it aint stereo.

    Pan it centre and off you go. Theres no advantage in having 2 tracks of the same audio on any timeline, be it avid, fcp Pro tools etc. This is what the pan function is for. By dropping 1 leg and panning central you lessen the media in the project, and it means that you dont have to do editing on more legs than is necessary.

    HOWEVER If the recordist was recording unique audio to each leg, then yes hes really screwed you over!
