audio balance issues
I am having the most difficult time with audio balance in Premiere…
All my interview audio tracks are mono, and are in the same track. At some points the audio balance shifts from 0 (unbalanced, playing in left and right) to balanced to the left (only plays in the left speaker).
I see no keyframes or anything for audio. They only viewable options I have for the audio clips in the timeline are volume (the Adobe manual says to select panning at the top left of the audio portion of the clip in the timeline). If I change the balance in the audio mixer it only changes it for that point. So, I’d literally have to rebalance the audio for every frame.
What do I not know? I’m used to using FCP. In FCP, you open the clip in your viewer, select the audio tab, then change the balance.
Thank you in advance for the help!

Unless you have altered something by mistake a mono audio clip which can only exist in a mono track will come through both speakers. Attempt to isolate the clips with the pan to either side and check nothing has changed with them specifically. The audio mixer is a powerful tool, unless you started riding the levels in write mode, during playback, you won’t find your answer there. Are you certain the problem clips are mono and in mono tracks? Stereo tracks using L only recorded clips will play with L only speaker. You’d then need to add the fill Left effect to force the right channel to duplicate the left channel.
Let us know.

Hey Jon,
Thanks for the response! I forgot to follow up…
After you stared talking about the power of the audio mixer and write mode, I just turned the mode to off and set the clip to be balanced. That did the trick.
I’m not sure if that’s the best thing to do or way to solve my problem, but it worked.
Thanks man!!
