Audio track Question, creating OMF for mix
I’ve been making the switch to CS6 & PP from FCP and have noticed a few differences in audio tracks. In PP you have the option to have a Stereo or mono file on the same track, say “Audio 1.” Whereas in FCP a stereo pair would be on both A1 & A2. So I have an edit with mulitple tracks containing both mono and stereo pairs. Mono tracks Audio 3 for the VO and Audio 1, 2, 4 & 5 are all stereo pairs containing the music and TV spots we’re showing for this case study video.
When I create the OMF for mixing and import into Soundtrack Pro, haven’t tried Audition yet, all the channels come in on separate tracks, for example Audio 1 from PP contains only stereo pairs from the countdown slate and finished TV spots and is labeled Audio 1_L and Audio 1_R in STP. (1) they aren’t panned correctly and (2) why aren’t these on the same track and just show the stereo waveform like FCP and STP did? The music tracks from Audio 4 & 5 were treated the same. When I opened the music track on its own in STP, not via the OMF, its contained on 1 channel and just shows the stereo waveform. Why is PP making these different.
What I also don’t understand is that the Mono track, the VO, from Audio 3 are also split to L & R vs. 1 channel panned center. Which is how it is displayed in PP, 1 mono waveform.
Can someone explain? Should I just keep all the channels and pan each properly for L & R? Or am I doing something wrong with my initial set up in PP? It seemed so much easier in FCP.
