  • Separating 2 Audio recorded on one tape

    Posted by Elizabeth Jarosz on July 28, 2008 at 4:45 pm

    My DP placed both lavs on one camera (it was a two camera shoot). Two separate lavs, but but all audio went into one of the cameras / onto one of the tapes.

    I imported the tape (with both audios) to Premiere Pro. And both voices are in the same audio track in my timeline right now.

    It’s an interview (two people talking interview style Q & A)

    I need to separate one voice from another in order to edit one voice differently than the other in a few instances throughout the interview.

    How do I do this?

    I *think* the way to do this is as follows…

    Select your source clips (you may wish to duplicate them first to keep the originals intact) and select clip menu | audio options | source channel assignment.
    Assuming they were stereo when captured, then select ‘mono as stereo’
    They will now edit into 2 x stereo programme tracks. The first track will be A1 routed to L&R, the second track will be A2 routed to L&R and can be edited seperately (if ‘unlinked’ by right clicking and selecting ‘unlink’).

    But then I don’t use PP and there are likely to be many other ways of skinning this rabbit
