  Non used audio tracks with Hyper Deck Studio…..

  Posted by Ted Snow on April 17, 2015 at 9:14 pm

  I recently did a 3 camera shoot using an ATEM television studio unit. Our audio (wireless mics, etc.) Went into a Behringer Euro Rack line mixer then into a Behringer Ultra Match Pro converter and from there into the Hyper Deck Studio. This wasn’t my equipment…but I think this is how it was routed, the best I remember.

  Anyway…my question is…is there a way to tell the Hyper Deck Studio to only record two tracks of audio?

  When I pulled the video file into my software (Sony Vegas Pro 12) I had a video track and several audio tracks that were blank. Only the first two audio tracks had program material on them…the rest were blank.

  This seems that it would use up processor power and disc space unnecessarily.

  I have read that when you “capture” the program to the computer you can specify what audio you want to capture…but I just dragged the .mov file into the software and it opens right up…but has all of these unused audio tracks. Any way to avoid this?

  Thanks.

  Anyone have an answer to this? I just did another 3 camera shoot for the same people…and have the same problem. The file capture on the HyperDeck contains the video file and 16 audio files. I’m not capturing the camera audio…so the only audio files I need are the first two tracks.

  Any way to only capture the two audio tracks so I don’t end up with 14 black audio tracks that I have to delete?

  I don’t think so. Been fighting with this for a few years now.

  I’ve tried opening the quicktime in a third party program and deleting the audio tracks, but it still comes into my box with all the original channels. Perhaps if you recorded xlr audio instead of embedded, but I don’t want to have to do that.

  Thanks Glenn,
  I was afraid of that. It’s not that big of a problem…other than the added work of deleting all the unused tracks.

  I appreciate the response…!
