I don’t work a lot with Plural Eyes but you can at least try looking in Premiere Pro’s preferences. Under Audio, take a look at the ‘Default Audio Tracks’ and how they are handled. I might change Mono and/or Multichannel Mono Media to Stereo and see if that helps you. Make sure that your new sequence also has stereo audio tracks as well.

True Ryan which is why I asked the question.
Your answer (need to work with other software components) and mine (older hardware) are two good reasons to consider transcoding before you get to edit.

I’ll ask the basic question – why should you have to transcode at all? Premiere Pro will read and edit the H.264 from your Canon camera.
Of course you can convert your footage to anything we support if you wish. However, this is only if you want to or if your systems are older where playing back H.264 might be too taxing on the system.

Paul,
Can you outline what your system is, what the GPU is and what driver you’re using?
-
Yes.

Maybe you could, but the universe might also blow up. Duplicate the sequence, rename it then continue working on it while the first version renders.

I’m an Adobe employee so my bias is clear. Instead, I will address the question of a system and resources.
Your current system with 4GB of RAM just isn’t enough. 8GB is the absolute minimum in my opinion for running a 64-bit application like Premiere Pro. If you can test on other hardware to get a feel for how the app would respond for you, I’d recommend that. If you can bump your memory to 8GB of RAM, I’d definitely recommend spending the $100 or so to make your laptop run better.
Also, remember that Premiere Pro CS6 will run on Lion and Mountain Lion, so no more Snow Leopard.
If you get a new system, I recommend a balanced approach. CPU, RAM, GPU all have to be balanced. Put 3-4GB of RAM per CPU core, more RAM will not hurt. If you’re getting a tower, consider an NVIDIA card to help make the FX fly even faster with hardware acceleration. There’s a lot of information out there and I’m sure you’ll get a lot of opinions.
Good luck and let me know if you have specific questions.

to answer the question: because a lot of companies (Apple, Avid, GV, etc). create propietary codecs or wrappers that you have to license – i.e pay money for in order to use.

This is a known bug when importing XML into Premiere Pro CS6. The audio is there, but if it has no keyframes, the audio is interpreted at minus infinity level. in order to fix this, you either need to add a keyframe to the audio clips in FCP before you export XML or simply bring up the level of the audio tracks in Premiere Pro.
Sorry for this definite inconvenience!
