  Audio when capturing

  Posted by Saya Hillman on May 2, 2005 at 6:09 pm

  I used to be able to hear audio through the computer when capturing and I must have accidently turned that off because audio only comes through the DV deck now. Anyone know how I can get audio through the computer again?

  You really should NOT use the computer’s audio to monitor when capturing, it has been shown to add audible Clicks to the captured audio. The proper procedure is to use the audio from the deck (as you have it now).

  The audio is, by default, MUTED to the Mac’s speaker output during Log and Capture.

  You should normally monitor the audio directly from the camcorder or deck you are using to capture.

  However, there is a way you can turn ON the Mac’s speaker if you really WANT to:

  Final Cut Pro (menu) > Audio/Video Settings… > Capture Presets (tab)

  “Duplicate” the Capture Preset you are now using, when the window opens rename it (I added “MacAudioOn” to the file name).

  Click open the “Advanced” button in the Audio section and turn speakers to “ON during Capture.”
  The Mac speakers/audio-out will now play Audio during the preview in the Log and Capture window.
