Want to record Stereo
I have been videotaping a lot of my daughter's cheer competitions, and usually I tap off the line outputs of the audio board for the music (I use Senn wireless 100 unit to xmit to my videocam), and mix with my on-cameral mic in post. However, this only gives me mono music, and I would much prefer stereo. I have a second Senn 100, and could xmit the other stereo channel to my camera using that, but then I lose the ambient for mixing. Any suggestions (and, at the very least, any suggestions for taking my mono music track and making it "sound" like stereo). Thanks much.

There's a few "stereoizer" VST plugins floating around. Look on Voxengo or MDA.
Ozone will also do the trick...which is to put a small bit of phase error on one channel...does wonders for opening up mono to simulate stereo. |

Bill, thanks very much. I tried the Voxengo plug in in Premiere Pro, and it worked beautifully. What is MDA? I tried googling it, but came up with nothing. Thanks again! |

The way I do this is to get a copy of the original music and lay that in.
Easy enough to sync it up by matching waveforms, unless the camera has AGC turned on, then it can a bit more tricky having to do it by ear. |

Hi Ken
No need for a plug-in with Prem Pro. Have background audio on Track 1. Capture Senn Mic as separate track ( Eg. Scenalyser ). Note if this is a left or right channel ( depending on CH3 or CH 4 i/p to your camera ). Import to Audio track 2 on timeline. Use the fill left / fill right commands from effects, to fill the 'other' channel with the same mono track. Not stereo, but does fill left and right channels equally and in sync with the background. Mix tracks 1 and 2 as appropriate to your production. Hope this helps, as an easier alternative. Steve

Most video cameras record in stereo.
Why not record the performance with the on camera mic, which gives you a lot of ambient room sounds as well as audience reaction? Get a line feed to a stand alone audio recorder and record the program . Get a copy of any music (in stereo) on CD. Sync them all in you NLE, and choose which audio tracks are the most appropriate at the appropriate times. I do this all the time with similar live performances, and it works quite well.

Last week, I used my new Tascam P2 to record a series of comedy shows for an upcoming television special. It worked flawlessly. I mixed an audience stereo pair with the comics Shure Beta 58 and the results were fantastic. This was a three camera shoot, so I locked the Tascam to the time code box and all worked very well. That Tascam is one sweet recorder.

From your earlier post you described using a separate plugin - the method I described uses the in built func of PPro. From what you describe, you are recording 2 mono channels and trying to get a stero mix..... ??? What I normally do is have the front shotgun record on stereo ( into CH1 & CH2 ), and then I have 2 further separate mono channels on the camera. The senn100 sends a mono feed to CH3 and I use this in post to fill left/right and then mix the 2 tracks together. Of course if you do have that 2nd Senn, you could space them out in the room, and send 1 to CH3, 1 to CH4 and then mix the stereo pair with the stereo shotgun, in post. PS Adobe Audition gives you the flexibility to play around with the spartial settings, if you have that program. Steve
