Split multi-channel audio to separate tracks in Premiere Pro

When you have an audio file with multiple microphone channels, you’ll want to keep each microphone channel on a separate track when editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to do that and how not to do it.

This is fantastic Curtis! I had this very problem a couple of months ago. Resolved it in a far more laborious way, this is pure gold! Thank you

This is “sound” advice. Happy new year my friend!!! 😁👍

Always appreciate your time and work making these videos! Thank you

SO Glad you posted this. Been trying to figure this out for two days. Thank you!

Thank you, you just resolved frustration I have been harboring for literal weeks

[yuzu]

working on a uni-project right now and this saved me a lot of clicking! thank you!

[davegirtsman]

Thank you for this! It's been more than a few times that I've handed a poly file off with nice clean tracks and when I see/hear the final product, it's clear that the editor didn't read my notes or understand how this works.

Very helpful, as always.
Happy New Year Curtis!

Happy New Year! Great that you started editing again in Premiere I am expecting more audio tutorials about audio in Premiere :)

I guess the learning curve never stops.
I hope they're paying you well.
Because you were worth it.

Happy new year, Curtis! Thanks for this, it's going to be really helpful in editing a multi-cam shoot I did recently.

Thank you! Switched to premiere from final cut after 20 years because I switched to PC.

That's a great workflow Curtis. I think it could really help for when I am using the MixPre-6 with multiple microphones in a file. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Thank you so much!
I had only audio on the left side of my headphones with a recording.
Solved it in the modify audio channels menu by selection left audio is my R an L audio.

Hey Curtis! Now that you're editing in Premiere again, I'd love to see a video on your beginning to end post workflow with audio in Premiere Pro. Specifically when it comes to voice-over/vocal dialogue editing. I feel like Premiere has gained some nice audio editing features the past couple years and I would love to just stay in Premiere to edit all my audio and make my workflow easier. Any videos on this topic would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[moviola]

Thank you very much. The video lead me in the right direction. Cheers Comrade!

That is big! Running a multi-channel on a RodeCaster Pro, I'd b been extracting each channel in Audition. This tip will eliminate that step. Thanks!

Very interesting and thank you, Curtis.

yo one question. do you record any sound off of fifa or mute it and just record the party audio. I recorded clubs earlier and my party and game audio was on the same line and I couldn't separate it. I've searched it up and it seems so difficult to separate. just asking cuz you do it so well 👍

Is there a way to quickly do this retroactively? Like if an edit has already been built using a multichannel audio track, and the editor just needs to mix the audio, pan and mute individual channels etc? The equivalent in Pro Tools would just be to simply right click the track and select "split to mono" and it instantly creates two new mono tracks and preserves the timeline
