The left channel has voice from a radio mic while the right channel is the camera mic with general audio. I need to seperate the two channels so I can use the voice audio when its needed. So my question is how do u do this? I'm a beginner user of AA though I have owned veris versions for some years, just never had the time to get right into it until now. I've have spent the last couple of days digging through help menus and manuals trying to solve this problem. Usually I'd use hardware to do a work around but I figured I might as well start using the software. Any help would be appreciated... Sorry if this is a silly noob question.

Load the stereo track into Waveform View.  Click the little L to the right of the upper half of the waveform and it will mute the left channel.  Click File>Save As and save the right channel.  Then unmute L and repeat the procedure with the little R to the right of the lower half of the waveform.

This is faster than working in Multitrack, I think.

I realize this thread has gone dormant, but having begun putting Premiere Pro CS5 through some paces and needing to split a stereo audio track in order to treat each side differently, I wonder why not

A) duplicate the stereo audio track and place the result in the next available audio channel, then

B) pan track one all the way to either the L or R, followed by

C) pan track two all the way opposite

Voilá! Separate tracks for processing!

However, the best and most obvious choice is an editing app that simply allows one to de-couple the stereo track in the first place -- like Final Cut Pro.

That said, I am impressed with the speed at which PP works (aaaahhh, 64-bit app). Otherwise, underwhelmed by the relative paucity of functionality of the app compared with FCP.
