I just had the same problem yesterday, with one channel of hissy-camera-noise and one channel of good mic sound. Here’s what I did:
Select the audio tracks and go to the “modify” pull-down menu.
De-select “stereo pair” about halfway down.
Lock the V1 and A2 channels using the little lock icons in the timeline, and delete the A1 channel.There might be a better way, but that worked for me. (And you can pan the audio to the center also under the “modify” menu, under the “audio” sub-menu.)
Good luck.

Hey, thanks, you reminded me that I was overdue for just such a back-up. It’s burning as we speak. This may come in handy when I make the move from my dual-533 to a G-5 next week.

I haven’t actually done this myself, but to quote somebody else from the forum, they’re just hiding.
“When in Log & Capture, under the clip settings, open up the waveform and vector scope tab and POOF! the meters will show up. ”

It may well be. It actually seems project-based, i.e. some projects are crash-prone and some are not, regardless of length, settings, or number of sequences. We’ve re-installed from the ground-up, though, with no real improvement. I think it’s this machine and these drives not playing nice together.
But, as I said, I’m only a few weeks off from upgrading to a G5, so I’m just trying to be patient and careful. If nothing else, the crashes have allowed me time to get up to speed as I’m just coming over from Avid world. My bosses know the system is somewhat unreliable, so they tend build a little extra time into the deadlines. It’s been a good way to learn, actually.

I’m running a Dual 533 G4 with Panther, and believe me, I’ve called it many things but ‘stable’ is not one of them. I have started making little cross-hatches on my desk for every time it crashes, much like prisoners crossing off the days of their captivity. (92 crashes in the past five months.) There’s a G5 in next quarter’s budget, and it can’t get here soon enough for me.
All that said, it is a fairly cheap option, if you’re patient and save often. And by ‘often’ I mean ‘every time you do anything’.
