Audio mixes down to single track
Hey,
I’m new to Premiere as I’ve only used FCP and Avid in the past and I’m running into some trouble. Here’s the issue – When I import video into Premiere, it mixes the two tracks of audio down to only one track, which makes it impossible to change the levels on my natural sound vs. interview source individually. I’d love to bring these audio sources individually so I can work with them.
I’m shooting video on a Sony EX1r and am editing on a MacBook Pro with Adobe CS5 Production.
My guess is it has something to do with the sequence settings… but I’m not sure where exactly to look.
Any help is much appreciated. -

Select your clip in the PROJECT PANEL the choose Clip > Audio Options > Breakout To Mono . This will create two new master mono audio clips.
NOTE: When you pull mono audio to your timeline it may seem as if the audio doesn’t show. It does, but it will be at the bottom of the audio if your sequence setting have sterio audio tracks as PP will create a new mono track below the sterio tracks (or 5.1 etc). If you know you are going to work with mono, set your sequence settings from sterio to mono or just reduce the sterio tracks and add some mono tracks .. whatever works for you.
Hope this helps. Andrew
