Edius 7 Audio

[Phill Pendleton]

Hi
Just started editing with Edius 7 (after being a Adobe fan for years). Bit of a learning curve but enjoying it.
Am having a bit of a audio problem.
Previewing a clip from the bin I can hear both audio tracks (XDCam, radio mic Ch1, effects mic ch2) but when I drag it to the timeline I'm just getting Ch2 effects mic audio? What am I missing?

How do you have your channel mapping on the timeline setup ? Are you using VA tracks or have you set V tracks with channel mapping to the A tracks?

Thanks for the reply Ron, VA tracks.

[Ron Evans]

When you drag to the timeline from the bin are there stereo tracks when the audio waveform is expanded? VA is stereo and if you recorded in 4 channels on the XDCAM the other two will be in audio tracks depending on how you have mapped the audio.

Hi Ron
When dragged onto the timeline their are four tracks of audio - 1 in the 1VA, then the others in 1A, 2A, 3A.
If I mute al;l 4 tracks then unmute 1A, the effects mic plays. If 1A is muted, and the others are unmuted, there is nothing. All the audio is on 1A.
Sorry if I'm confusing, still feeling my way.

Check the channel map in your project settings. For all the tracks, you can set if the track is stereo or mono on either ch1 or ch2 etc. prescribing where each channel of audio goes to which track. The number of input channels is also specified in the project settings. If all are unmuted they should all play. If you open the audio mixer you should see the vu meters for each track. Sorry didn't reply after you last post it was bed time here in Canada !!

When trimming clips in the Player, be sure the Audio Source Channel Mode is set to Mono.
Dragging trimmed clips will then split audio channels properly.

Thanks for the replies.
Problem sorted and back on track.
Merry Christmas All :-)
