Audio Split Tracks in FCPX

[Robin S. kurz]

[Girshon Rutstein] “How do I split these 2 tracks and still make it sound stereo to adjust some volume independently.”

Use the panning after the split? The exact same way you’d have to do it in 7 also.

“Use the panning after the split? The exact same way you’d have to do it in 7 also.”

BTW in FCP 7 I did not do the panning, all I did I unchecked the stereo pair and that separated my Left and Right channel, where I could control the volume separately.

You have to open the audio components after changing the clip to dual mono which will give you separate volume controls for each channel.

I forget the default key command for expand audio components (I have it mapped to shift-e, which may or may not be the default), but you can find it by selecting Clip > Expand Audio Components.

I’m not sure what you mean by “sounding stereo” but you can adjust pan modes in the inspector.

[Girshon Rutstein]

You are correct, panning left and right is the way to make the track still sound stereo.

The FCPX is not as intuitive application as earlier versions. I don’t think people can learn how to use it without going through some tutorials.

I have yet to see any software, let alone an NLE, that doesn’t actually require any type of learning. No idea how that’s FCP X specific. Unless of course you can do what you’re doing in any and every other NLE out there without having to ask? Avid? Edius? Vegas? Premiere? I’m guessing: no.

Fcpx does operate differently than other NLEs.

There are a multitude of good training resources out there. After a few relatively short lessons, you’ll be up and runnin as once you learn the mechanics, the techniques and ideas are similar.

[Girshon Rutstein]

You could be correct, it just seem to me that FCPX interface looks easy, but its not.
I meant to say that the platform is completely different from other nLE.

For example I started with Adobe Premiere, and for me to switch to FCP 5-6-7 was an easy task. I knew how to use it in a few days. And so iMovie, Vegas, etc.

But started liking it a lot. In fact I even purchased a full curse of FCPX by Larry Jordan

Thanks guys for your support.
