Only Right channel in videos...

This is a question on working with videos in Sonar X1 Producer. After I have imported the video into Sonar, when I clicked Play, I want only the original Audio in the video to play on the Right channel only instead of Stereo. For an example, the latest Windows Media Player allows you to choose the audio to play on Left, Right or Stereo channel especially if the video is a karaoke video.

So, how do I do that on Sonar? Thanks.

Kalle Rantaaho: It is like this I wanted to import a karaoke video file into Sonar, and then put vocals (audio) into it. So, during playback I want the video imported into Sonar to play only on the right channel so that the vocal is off. This is so that, during recording of the new vocal by my vocalist, he won't need to hear the existing vocal in the karaoke video file.

After the recording of the vocal is inserted together with the karaoke video file, I want the vocal to be heard on the left and right channel too. So, how do I do this? Thanks.

take that stereo-track and bounce it down to two mono tracks (split mono in the bounce menu)..
mute the original stereo track,..
on the new 2 mono tracks you'll just mute or delete the karaoke vocal track, done.
you need to put the audio and video tracks together in another program, as sonar is not yet capable of exporting videos in an acceptable quality. Windows Movie Maker should do.

Frank or anybody, I hope you don't mind to guide me step by step bcoz I am a newbie. So, what I am suppose to do is... first step (please correct me if I am wrong):-

After I imported the video into Sonar, I click on Tracks menus, and then I click on Bounce to Track. Then, I am lost here. What should I do next at this point?

Thanks.

Frank, thanks... I have tried your steps, and I already clicked on Split Mono and mute the rest of the tracks. Now I have another problem...

When the vocalist is trying to sing into the mic, the vocalist voice is transmitted to the speaker instead of the headphone. Does anyone know how do I set the background music and the vocal to be transmitted only thru the headphone during recording?

Thanks.

dependant on your audiointerface it might be or not be possible to make individual mixes for your headphone and/or the speakers..
if the headphone output is not available as an output in sonar then you have to power off the speakers during recording.
what audiointerface are you using ? there might be more problems than just that..

you dont export the video from sonar!
you export only the audio from sonar!

when you use Movie Maker you import/open your original videofile (with the original karaoke tracks)
then you import the audio that you have previously exported from sonar and place it underneath your video.
Movie Maker has an audio-tab where you can balance/mix those 2 audio tracks..
export that video as wmv (it's the only fileformat available with windows live..argh..) and convert it with "super" to whatever fileformat.
