    Firstly, I’m not knowledgable, so keep it simple for me. 🙂

    I’ve shot footage using a mixer for audio. On the mixer, I had the pan set center.

    I’m gathering, now that I’ve captured the footage, that the audio is only good in the left speaker. I’m not sure why. Also, my audio track 2 is bad. Audio track 1 is fine, but again, it’s only coming out the left speaker.

    QUESTION: Is there a way to pan track 1 center? I’ve tried, but it’s already set to center. When I manipulate it to pan right, it goes completely out.

    Bottom line is, I desire my audio to come out both speakers.

    Can anybody help?

    Thanks,

    Cris

    It sounds to me like anything you send ‘right’ goes bad. That makes me think there’s something wrong with your right speaker! Do you have another set you can hook up for a minute to see if that’s the problem?

    If it’s not, you want to unlink your audio tracks from each other (select them then hit Apple-L) and then erase Track 2. At that point I think Track 1 WILL be centered, but double click it and make sure that “Pan” is set to 0, just to make sure.

    But I’d still check the speakers first. That’s my guess.

    Thanks for the response.

    The audio a previous project is playing fine through both speakers.

    I’ve tried to delete audio track 2 and then manipulate track 1, as you suggested, but it’s still the same problem.

    Hmmm??

    Any other suggestions? I’ll keep playing with it.

    It is seems that from reading both of your posts that you do NOT have Chan. 1 panned to center.

    If you have, in fact, deleted the Chan. 2 clips, simply select (highlight) all of the remaining Chan. 1 clips and choose:

    Modify (menu) > Audio > Pan Center.
