Splitting sound to L and R in a track
I have been using Cs3 for about 3 months and can’t seem to find a way to break my stereo tracks apart so I can drop my nat sound and keep the mic’ed audio.
Any takers. I tried panning but it is a global setting for all the clips on the track. I guess I could move the audio to a different track and pan, but that defeats the purpose.
Unlink only unlinks sound and video, but I can’t unlock the audio from a stereo pair like in Final Cut.

The easiest way is to use the channel mapping feature. You have to do this before you bring the clip in either the timeline or source window.
Select the clip. Go to to Clip > Audio Options > Source Channel Mappings. Change the setting from stereo to mono.

I should say that if you have to do that after you started editing, you can duplicate the clip below. Apply the fill left filter to the top clip, and fill right to the bottom one.
The problem with that method is that you have to repeat the process for each clip.Vince

Nelson,
In the project/bin window, before you add the clip to the timeline, choose clip->audio options->source channel mapping from the main menu. Then, you can specify to treat as “mono”, which will give you 2 linked mono clips instead of the default single stereo track.
If I remember correctly, you can do this to multiple clips at once. I think that you cannot change channel mapping once you use a clip on a timeline, so best to do it at the outset.-Jeff

Hey!! I posted before Vince! –but it was delayed, as I updated my profile, so the message was “moderated”. At least you got your info, Nelson. ;>)
