  Multiple audio sources, MTS files, CS6. Uhg!

  Posted by Eric Mccarthy on May 21, 2013 at 5:40 am

  So here is the issue. We shot an AF100, one channel of an audio feed from a mixer into XLR #1, the other was the on camera mic. We captured two distinct audio sources onsite. When the files are imported into Pr_CS6 there are only two audio tracks, and they both “bounce” in unison. As far as I can tell it is a dual mono track. How can I access all the various audio tracks? Shouldn’t I see a distinct left and right from the on-board stereo mic, and two mono tracks (duplicated) from the track from the mixer output?

  The mixer in this case was a one channel RCA out through an adapter to an XLR on camera. I know that it was picking up though the head phones, and bumping the meters on screen.

  We have tried multiple settings in the “Modify>Audio Channels…” menu, but haven’t found a solution. What am I missing?

  Thanks in advance.
  Eric

  This was multi day shoot, with lots of footage, so I am sure that this is not user error

  Well, you ran one line in from mixer. One audio track.
  One mic in from on cam. Second audio track.

  When you “modify audio channels” you should have 2 mono tracks.

  Well since the onboard mic is stereo, shouldn’t there be at least three channels? Also, I would prefer to have access over mixing the onboard with the input from the mixer. Right now what I have is basically two, identical audio tracks. I can adjust levels and pan, but it makes no difference (since they are the same) .
  Thanks

  Your audio files will be the same as they are in the recorded files and that is determined on how you set them up. Example:assign the internal stereo mic to only record on channel 1 and the line in assigned to channel 2. I am not sure about the AF 100 but your audio record settings will be determined on menu or switch assignments.

  You will not have 3 tracks of audio, just 2 and you can split them in to mono channels in PrPro.
