Splitting stereo 2-track into 2x mono interviews - hiss issue

Hi - I've used Cleanfeed to record a 2-way interview with a remote guest. 

Me and interviewee are on the two sides of the stereo track. 

The .wav sounds great when listened  to raw. 

They need to be split for editing. I have: 

  • extracted the two channels to mono files
  • created a Multitrack session
  • dragged R+L across (simultaneously) into separate tracks in Multitrack.

Now, there is tremendous hiss and distortion. 

The R+Ls sound fine separately. 

I've tried this with 44.1 conformed and 48.1 import - same issue. 

Can you advise what to do here? What's the best import/editing process for this scenario? [remote two-way interview]

Many thanks, 

Jules

You haven't by any chance put this into a Multitrack session using the Podcast template, have you? If you have, then start again using the default template instead. The Podcast template is a total liability, and really shouldn't be available.

Update - the hiss is between bits of speaking on each mono channel. This is isn't in the two-way stereo.

    Thanks Steve - you're spot on!

    I redid it with None template and it's fine. What a pest of a template!

     

    Do you perchance have a link to a good video on workflow for editing two-ways? 

    Sync and levels are fine now.  I need cut clips, keep the two sides grouped, end up with a nice package to put music under. 

    Essentially, what's the fastest way to rough-cut? On the hoof use of Marker?

    Many thanks for your help.
