channel split for composer – plse help!

[Bouncing Account needs new email address]

Make a dupe of the timeline and, on the dupe, individually pan the tracks to separate channels, as needed.

Do you need to provide two tracks of dual mono, or four tracks of two stereo pairs?

>>>Do you need to provide two tracks of dual mono, or four tracks of two stereo pairs?

I am not sure about that. Here is what he emailed me:

>>I need the dialogue split to the left channel, the music to the right.

He wants to be able to turn the music off or on separate from the rest of the tracks.

thanks,

Paula

OK, we’ll assume a dual mono mix, then (that means everything he’s doing will be mono, hope he’s okay with that).

First dupe your timeline and attach the name DualMono to it. Then open the sequence settings by hitting command-zero. Then find the audio outputs tab. Change the ‘Grouping’ to Dual mono and hit okay.

Then go back to your sequence and right click underneath the track lock on the very left hand side of your sequence. You should see a little drop down menu come out. For whatever track you have chosen whether it’s voice or music (let’s say it’s voice) go to Audio Outputs and choose 1, then do that for every track that has voice on it. Then go to your music track and right click underneath the track lock and choose 2, then do that for every track that has music on it.

Now when you play your timeline, Voices will be on Channel 1 and music will be on channel 2.

Make sense?

Jeremy,

It works like a charm.
And your directions are excellent.

Thanks!

Glad you’re up and running.

Just in case this comes up, you can make a four track output (that’d be a stereo voice track and a stereo music track) by changing a few settings. In the Audio Outputs tab of your sequence settings, you can change the output number to four and leave the outputs at stereo. back in your sequences, right click under the track lock and select 1&2 outputs for your stereo voice tracks and 3&4 outputs for your music tracks.

Make sense again?
