  On the higher end Beta SP decks (PVW2800, BVW70/75), you’ll have a mix switch, but I believe you only get a copy of 1 and 2. I’m not familiar with digi-beta / J-decks…

  What are your two channels. Vo, Dia, SFX Music? Mixed?

  Are you outputting a stereo mix or direct split?

  Sounds like a two channel mix. But your on track… just add two more tracks.

  usually 4 tracks are used for 4 channel split tracks or 3 and 4 are the Mix Minus Vo.
