Audio Mixer Issue

ScottMc · Post by **ScottMc** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 10:41 pm

I'm so upset right now that I'm about ready to purchase Adobe!

All I want to do is use audio track 1 for 100% of the left channel (for stereo only), and audio track 2 for 100% of the right channel.

In attempting this, the audio mixing panel is horrible. I can't make it do it, or keep it, etc. I got some of the tracks in the correct left or right channels (how I did it is anyones guess), but I can't get all the tracks to do it. This can't be that hard! I've spent hours on doing it, searching the forums, and attempting to call Ulead, which gives nothing but a disconnected-busy signal for months now.

Can anyone help? I'm at my end with this software. I've spent way too much money on Ulead to just get stuck with these stupid little issues all the time. Ulead's help is horrible too. I'm really ticked-off right now!

Have you tried checking the Manual? If you don't have it you can download it here:
http://www.ulead.com/msp/documents.htm

Start on Page# 139 Audio Mixing, then on Page#141 it talks about Grouping Audio Tracks, which is what I think you are needing to do..

Thanks vidoman, I'll check it out. I have the manual from the product so I assume this is something new or different?

Vidoman, yes this is the manual I have. It's also the same as in the HELP in MSP8. It doesn't provide any "how to" on how to make this happen. It explains the buttons and how to group audio tracks. There is no "how to" make and apply the settings as I need to do. But thanks anyway.

I would use Audacity for that kind of thing.

With it, it is easy to convert track 1 (as a WAV file, for preference) to mono and track 2 likewise, then to use them as L and R channels for a new WAV which you can then put on the timeline, splitting and deleting the original audio tracks. Make sure you don't alter the sampling frequency.

I have to agree with Devil on this one.. First rule of thumb, never rely on just one product to get the job done. You have an arsenal a mouse click away, use it! Every project I have done, to date, I have used at LEAST 30 different programs to get the desired effect. It's all about the end result, and, bringing smiles to those that watch it. My wife likes to say it's the "ooo's and ahhh's" effect.

Thanks D! Nice add-on software! Hard to believe the big, commercial software can't do something so simple.

By using the pan in audio filters this can be easily done in MSP 8.
No need on this one for Audacity which is by the way a great software for free.
