  Setting up Audio in Premiere

  Posted by Scott O’hara on October 29, 2016 at 12:09 am

  Hey All,

  Been editing for quite a while, but still having trouble pinning down the best setup for audio mapping/panning and exporting.

  Particular example below.

  Getting Mono Source files. 3 people mic’d total of 6 mono channels.

  Channel 1: Mix L
  Channel 2: Mix R
  Channel 3: Boom
  Channel 4: Lav 1
  Channel 5: Lav 2
  Channel 6: Lav 3

  I’m creating a multi-channel sequence with Standard tracks with the eventual output to stereo with option of discrete channel exports if need be (from multichannel).

  My questions are:

  -Right now, the boom and lavs are center panned. When done with the edit I create a stereo submix and direct the tracks through that to get stereo. Or I cut and paste the multichannel sequence into a stereo sequence.

  -BUT! I thought I remember a sound mixer telling me they should be panned left (the mono tracks at first). Then when going to a stereo export you fill the right channel to get true stereo. But I totally forgot what he told me as it was years ago. But I thought center panning mono tracks will give you a muddied sound.

  -What’s the CORRECT way to set this up in Premiere for multichannel sequences, then getting stereo out of that with true L and R panning for the cleanest sound?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks!
