After converting mono to stereo in Audition, still getting mono in Premiere

[adamb90023043]

Hello to the community,

I'm having one annoying as can be issue with either Premiere or Audition or the workflow between them, but either way I could use someone's help. I have a mono clip from a lav mic I synced with the video using "Synchronize" in premiere. Afterwards I clicked "Edit in Adobe Audition", cleaned up the noise, then converted to stereo (dual mono). I applied a slight delay effect to fake a stereo sound but after I save it and go back to Premiere the audio file updates to a dual mono, not true (fake) stereo. What's really weird is you can see that there are two identical channels when you look at the volume, but when you look at the timeline it's displayed as a mono track. I even tried to open up "Audio Channels" and duplicate the track again but it's only displaying options for one track. 

This is all just really weird. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Try converting your file to stereo before sending it to Audition. I suspect that what's happening is exactly what should be - your original file is being edited in Audition, and that's what is going to be returned to Premiere - not a version with an extra channel. If you convert the file to dual mono first, I think you'll probably be able to get dual mono back through the round trip process.
