Break all stereo tracks into mono tracks
Premiere Pro can automatically break out individual stereo and surround channels to discrete monaural clips as each
clip is captured or imported.
1
Choose Edit > Preferences > Audio (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio (Mac OS).
2
In the Source Channel Mapping area, choose Mono from the Default Track Format menu.
3
Click OK.
Use a mono clip as stereo
You may sometimes find it useful to use a mono audio clip as a stereo clip. Using the Source Channel Mappings
feature, you can apply a mono clip to a pair of left and right stereo channels.
1
In the Project panel, select a mono clip.
2
Choose Clip > Audio Options > Source Channel Mappings.
3
In the Source Channel Mappings dialog box, select Mono As Stereo.
Important: You can apply the Source Channel Mappings command to a mono clip only in the Project panel, before the
clip appears in a Timeline panel. You can’t convert a clip instance to stereo when it’s used in a mono audio track.

Placing sound from one channel of a stereo clip into both channels
If you have a stereo clip with sound recorded in only one channel, or if you have a stereo clip that has sound in one
channel that you want to replace with the sound from the other channel, you can use source clip channel mapping, the
Fill Left audio filter, or the Fill Right audio filter.

Linking multiple audio clips
You can link one video clip to multiple audio clips and you can link multiple audio clips together. When you link audio
clips in a sequence, you link only the instances of the master clips. The original master audio clips in the Project panel
are untouched.
Linked clips remain in sync as you move them or trim them in a Timeline panel. You can apply audio effects, including
Volume and Panning effects, to all channels in the linked clips. If you make an edit that moves one of the linked clips
without moving the others, out-of-sync indicators appear.
