Mastering Tascam DR100MKII audio for Premiere CS6
Hello everyone!
I just filmed an artist spotlight video using D800 for video and Tascam DR100MKII plugged to Sennheiser MKH 8060, by the way this is a great little shotgun mic.. I imported the resulting DR100MKII audio wave file into Premiere CS6 to discover that it's a mono left channel track. My question: How do you guys master this mono track to become a juicy stereo one to work in Premeire? I have Audion CS6 but I don't know what steps to take to do this. Can anybody kindly advice? Any help is truly appreciated!! Thanks

Re: Mastering Tascam DR100MKII audio for Premiere CS6
Stereo is 2 channels each recorded from a slightly different perspective. That requires 2 mics ... even "stereo mics" are really an array of two capsules mounted in the same unit. You can take your single mono channel and pan it to the center in Audition so it appears equally in both the left and right channels of a stereo output track but that won't make it stereo.

Renat:
What is recorded on the track? Dialog? Or music, ambient, atmos, etc.? And what do you mean by "juicy"? |

Re: Mastering Tascam DR100MKII audio for Premiere CS6
As mentioned, you can't create stereo imaging from a single mono track. But if you want that mono track to be replicated as identical left and right channels, you can do that.
In PPro, right click the file in the Project Window and choose Modify>>Audio Channels... and replicate the mono in both left and right stereo channels. You have to do this before putting the clip into a sequence; it won't change instances of a clip that's already in a sequence.

Re: Mastering Tascam DR100MKII audio for Premiere CS6
If you recorded a stereo track with one empty channel, you can use the "fill left" or "fill right" effect on the timeline. Fill Left will duplicate the left channel and paste it into the right channel -- and should the right channel not be empty, it will overwrite anything there....
Or, as Pete says, if you have a mono channel, modify the clip in the browser to make it stereo, change the second channel source to match the first channel, and you can drop it on the timeline....you can save the procedure as a preset and just call it up with a single click if you're going to use this frequently.... |

I don't know how Premiere CS6 handles mono and stereo files, but in most NLEs, a mono (single channel) file is panned dead center... (at least dialog files should be)

Re: Mastering Tascam DR100MKII audio for Premiere CS6
If the file actually just has one audio channel, then yes, the video clip's audio will play centered to a stereo audio output. If it is a stereo file with sound recorded to the left and a silent channel on the right, then the sound will be panned full left by default.
