  No Audio in Left Channel

  Posted by Brian Pitt on September 13, 2007 at 7:01 pm

  We had a show in Australia and when the record tapes came back, the left channel had no audio. I have to digitize the tapes (already done) and kick out a DVD to our VP. I cannot for the life of me remember how to copy the audio from the left channel and paste it in the right. Any help here?

  I searched the forum, but came up empty.

  You select and copy the audio.

  Then you Option Click on the Toggle Auto Select button on the track you want to Paste in to. It’s the little square just to the left of the audio tracks.

  Wow, Thanks Walter…

  I think I was trying to make this one a little too difficult. I feel quite silly. 🙂

  Even Easier…Select the clip.
  Option & Shift the clip and then just drag it down to your track while holding the two keys down. It will stay in sync with the clip above it.
  Really fast and easy.

  Even easier, center pan the single track.

  Possibly! In some cases yes, in some no.

  [Tom Matthies] “But you get a better levels if you dupe the tracks :)”

  “Better levels” may not be the best term, here.
  “Increased levels” might be more precise.
  (I’m sure that you meant “better” to mean “increased” in this case.)

  You DO get about a 3 to 6 dB increased level by cloning the clip on both channels, but that’s not always what you want to do.

  ————

  Also, if increased levels and a mono center is what you DO want, you can get the same effect by panning a single channel clip to center and increasing the level on that clip by approx. 3 to 6 dB.
