Bouke Report post #1 Posted May 24, 2017 Hi guys, Strange thing happens. I have a client who claims a 2 channel (poly) Wave file from me comes in in FCP 7 as dual mono, while a ProTools file (not sure if it's a wave or something else) comes in as stereo. (Just the pan settings.) I forgot close to everything about FCP 7... Anyone knows how this could happen? I never heard of metadata inside a Wave / BWF file that contains panning info... thx, Bouke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexbooy Report post #2 Posted June 16, 2017 Hi Bouke, Alex Booy here. How sees a workstation the difference between an interleaved 2 track (boom-lav) and a stereo mix file? By his extension? Another topic, maybe but Avid MC sees the extension _1 thru _ 24 as tracknumbers. So if you try to import an audio file never use _x for anything else than track count. I used it for shooting day. Avid didn't import any day higher than 24. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Reineke Report post #3 Posted June 17, 2017 AFAIK, FCP always did this. But I recall you can group two mono tracks together to function as one. Most other NLEs I encounter had an option to import as a interleaved pair or two separate mono tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bouke Report post #4 Posted June 19, 2017 Hi Alex, Long time no see! I've got no clue how / why this happens. It's a single 2 track file (stereo in this case), that seems to become mono panned. It should not be an issue as the editor 'should' have been paying attention, but it was a commercial that went out mono... (Also strange that the broadcasters QC missed that one...)

alexbooy Report post #5 Posted June 22, 2017 it happend twice with films that I had been mixing, that they were broadcasted in mono. They were both documentaries about music...... Sound relay was done using FCP 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
