Audio Source Patching

  • January 18, 2020

I have a simple sequence (1 video track and 3 audio tracks) with a simple clip with audio that I dragged into the sequence. For some reason, when bringing the clip into the sequence, it wants to create a new sequence audio track instead of just going to audio track 1. I have all tracks highlighted, V1 source patch on track 1 but A1 wants to live on and create a 4th Audio Track!

 

I hope I'm explaining this clearly.

    Well, I found a hack around it but I hate hacks around something instead of understanding why it's behaving differently.


    Alright. First you have 4 chanels mapped to adaptive.

    These can go only to adaptive tracks and on your timeline, only audio track 4 is set to adaptive.

    If you really want to keep it adaptive, V1 must be an adaptive track.. 

    To do it go to Add Tracks...( not  Add Track ) choose 1 track, select adaptive then select " Before first track".

    Now you'll have it on V1 track.

    When you open this clip in the source monitor and clic on the waveform underneath, how many audio tracks does it contain ? 

    Can you send a screenshot of your screen with the clip in your source monitor showing the audio tracks ans your timeline?

    Use the " Insert photo" option when you replies in a large format please.

    1. Clip Info showing 4 channels of audio

     

    2. Screen shot of Source Monitor audio of Clip

     

    3. Clip in Sequence

     

    No matter what I do, that audio wants to live on Audio Track 4. I can't move A1 Source Patch up or down any other track like I can with the V1 Source Patch.

    Check the header menus, both the little wrench icon and the 3-bar icon. Also right-click on the A1 Source target block.

     

    I'm on my phone and don't recall which has the settings you need to check.

    Thanks for speedy reply. I clicked all the sub menus but didn't see a way to resolve my problem.

     

    I've taken a few screen shots to show what I'm dealing with:

     

    1. Here's my new sequence

     

    2. Here's the new sequence with the Clip being inserted. It wants to create a 4th audio track. I tried moving it everywhere but it just wants to place it in a new 4th audio track

     

    3. Here's a closer look at the audio source patching inserts and overwrites
