How to make an audio on the dead center? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:How to make an audio on the dead center? Posted by: hari Date:1/18/2000 12:29:00 PM Sorry for my earlier posting. Accidentally, I hit the return key. I have dialogue recorded from a mono mic and I fed it into the camera directly. And then when I looked at it on the sound forge, it put it on the left channel only and the right is empty. Now I have the sound and music which are stereo on both left and right channel. And I would like to mix them together. So for that, I would like to put the dialogue on the center and then mix the sound and music as stereo on the left and right channel as they are. Is this possible by Sound forge. I tried the mix features but it always put the music and sound on the left channel and the dialogue was also in the left channel so it was difficult to adjust the volume or do any other cool stuff with it. thanks a lot in advance. Hari

Reply by: MJim Date:1/23/2000 4:03:00 PM Hi Hari, so long as you can go back to having your stereo music in one file and your voice recording in a separate file then this is easy in SF, even if the voice is only on one side. Just select (highlite) the voice side of the file (not selecting the empty other track) then drag it onto the music file, up the middle so it cross- highlites both sides of the music track before you let go. A dialogue box then pops up to give you a variety of choices for your mix. If your music and voice were mixed outside SF, it would be more difficult. A multitrack program like Vegas is more convenient for these mixes, but SF will do it.
