P2 Workflow. Too many audio tracks, how do I get rid of?
When I work with P2 footage from my HPX170, I always get 4 tracks of audio. It´s too many, and it fills my timeline window vertically too fast. It uses too much real estate. Sometimes i delete 3 and 4, and use “punch in” from the source monitor and that works, but sometime I want to use the drag and drop function, but then Premiere creates those extra 3 and 4 audio tracks. Just too clumsy for me.
So my question is this. Is there any way I can get just one stereo track? Are there any routing or interpreting functions to conform my footage to one stereo track? What are your workflows for this?

For possibilities, have a look at: FAQ:How do I create mono/stereo out of stereo/mono audio?

P2 always stores 4 tracks, it includes the stereo tracks from your internal mic.
The best way to deal with it is to first drag a clip in the timeline to identify the track you want to use.
Remove all clips from the timeline, then in the project manager select all your P2 clips, then go to clip > audio options > Source channel mappings. From there, select mono and uncheck the channels you don’t need.

Having the same issue with multiple, unwanted audio track being dragged to the timeline with the P2 video. The fixes listed by Adobe and above dont work for me. When I select “mono”, in the source mapping, I dont get an option to deselect any tracks.
When I follow the Adobe workflow, I cant unselect the source audio. I Select clip>audio options> and it does show 4 tracks of audio, but
according to Adobe, I should be able to deselect the channels I dont
want, but I cannot uncheck the “enable” boxes. Im working with the trial version, could this be a problem ? Getting ready to jump the Vegas ship….love the UI, but it is too limited for my needs.Thanks
