Splitting Stereo Channels into seperate tracks

Report · Sep 24, 2008

I have a stereo audio track which I have pulled from an AVI file in prem pro. 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.

Sorry to dredge up old stuff, but this concept of splitting out lav microphone from boom microphone just became an issue for me. I'd also like to be able to clean up the audio. The thread seems to be about Premiere Pro until the more recent posts.

I use Premiere Pro CS5 right now.

Seeing the conclusion of the thread, i downloaded Audition 5.5 to try it. I quickly found i can't edit mxf files, my video source.

Thus, i went back to the top of the thread to try the basic solutions.

So, in EV:
Ctrl-A (selects entire file)
Ctrl-L (selects LH channel)
Edit>Copy to new (no keystroke for this, but you could assign one if you needed to)
File>Save As

What is EV? I can't find any Adobe references to it.

EV is Edit View, which is what it was called in Audition 3 when this thread was started. Now it's called Waveform View, and because it's a new program, Waveform View often does things a different way. In the post above this one, I've described a method you can use in Waveform View in 5.5.

All the choices above are great and the beauty of AA is there are many ways to do things. I use another way for Lav Mics which is for me quicker. Load the orginal file in Edit View.

Copy to New (keeping the original safe) then on the new version first select all then Control L the left channel with audio the right is blank then copy followed by control R and then paste and save the new two channel lav file for further tweaking.

Cheers

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.
