  Four Channel Audio Mix to Tape

  Posted by Craig Ernst on July 28, 2005 at 10:47 pm

  Hi,

  In editing my shows I typically have VO on audio Track 1, nat sound and FX on audio Track 2, and stereo music on audio tracks 3,4,5&6.

  I want to output this to HDCAM tape in a FOUR channel audio mix. I would like Audio track 1 9from timeline) to go to audio track 1 on tape and Audio track 2 (from timeline) to go to audio track 2 on tape and I would like audio tracks 3,4,5,6 (from timeline) to go to audio tracks 3&4 on tape.

  In the world of avid there was a simple way to map audio wherever you wanted to and mix all the music tracks could just go to a stereo mix on tape.

  How do I do this in FCP.

  Thanks,
  Craig

  From the Manual:

  To create a new audio output preset:
  1 Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the Audio Outputs tab.
  2 Choose a preset from the audio output Presets list, then click Edit or Duplicate.
  3 In the Audio Outputs Preset Editor, enter a name and description for the preset.
  4 Choose the number of audio channels you want to access on your audio interface.
  5 For each pair of audio channels, choose Stereo to allow for panning clips between the pair
  of channels, or choose Dual Mono so that each channel can be used as a discrete output.
  6 Choose a downmix level for each pair of outputs.
  7 Click OK, then click OK again.

  To change the default audio output settings assigned to all new sequences:
  1 Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the Audio Outputs tab.
  2 Select an Audio Output preset from the Presets list by clicking in the column next to
  the preset
