audio panning

[Jeremy Garchow]

What Dave says or continue down the path that you started (with the dual mono) then you have to control click on the front of each audio track and assign each track to whatever output channel. For example, control click next to the little auto select box in the A1 track. You will see a little drop down menu that says audio outputs. Select 1 for track A1, and then repeat except choose 2 for track A2. Make sense?

I just figured it out. I had assigned all the tracks to the correct channel i wanted it to hear it on but i was still hearing it on both channels.
I had to go into the audio mixtool and click off downmix, which someone before me had selected.

Downmix is usually on by default. I forgot about that part. Good catch.

fwiw QT Player doesn’t read the exported movie’s dual mono status anyway … so your movie will still play back as full mix after you’ve exported it (although it will be correctly interpreted if you reimport to fcp)
if you paln on playing the movie back and want to have discreet audio you have to set your sequence settings to stereo and use the pan controls to provie the separation. (tracks assigned to ch1 you should pan left, tracks assigned to ch2 you should pan right)

I was able to export the qt through compressor and get the audio on the desired channels.

This is really helpful – I have a very similar issue but having followed this workflow I get to a point where I have separate tracks, but I can still hear a little of each one in the other – any ideas? I really need clean signal for each track…
