Here's the situation: I plugged two mics into my PD-150 to recorded two people demonstrating the control panels in an electric generating plant. The ambient noise level was deafening and I continually rode the channel gain controls on the camera. Still, it's going to be necessary to lower the level on one mic when the speaker associated with it isn't actually talking, perhaps even to kill it completely.
The problem: when I capture the tape in Vegas both mics are on a single audio track and there's no way to separate the channels so I can control the input from each mic independantly.
My thoughts re a solution: I can bring the audio in as analog, recording the left channel alone, then recording the right channel alone, putting these on separate tracks and syncing them. I've tried this and it works. However --
My question: is there a better way to do this, taking advantage of Vegas and the digital environment? Is this something that the Pan feature might resolve?
I need your help!
Thanks in advance,
Jack
