I created a new audio track in CS5 Premiere. I called it Lav 2 (for lavaliere 2) and am trying to drag an audio track onto that track.

But Premiere won't let me do it. If I try to drag it onto the track it tries to put it on the track above it. Or if I release the track it ends up several tracks down, on Track 11.

What is preventing me from dragging that audio track onto the empty audio track that I just created?

Thanks

Correct answer Colin Brougham

Your source audio is mono, and you're trying to drag it into a stereo track. Create a mono track, and you're in business.

As Colin points out, the channel-count must match. Here is a look at the Audio Track Headers. Note the little "speaker" icons in each.

Good luck,

Ah! That makes sense.

I assume once a track is created as stereo it cannot be changed to mono -- or visa versa?

No you cannot change the audio track. Just delete and set up a new one with the correct Track Type.
