  firewire and audio

  Posted by Ron Beard on March 17, 2006 at 10:14 pm

  I am working with a tape that has 4 channels of audio and I am only able to get two of them into FCP. I am using the DSR-11. Is there something I can do to get all four in?

  Thank you.

  Virtually all camcorders with the DV format can playback Ch. 3 & 4, but you need to switch them to that mode (likely in the MENU settings for audio).

  Likewise, FCP must be set to access Ch. 3 & 4.
  Here’s how (it is the same for PAL, but you will of course use the PAL settings):

  Final Cut Pro (menu pull-down) >
  Audio/Video Settings >
  Capture Presets >
  Click the “Duplicate…” button >
  a new “Capture Preset Editor” window will open >
  Change the “Name:” field to DV NTSC 48 kHz CH 3&4 (so you’ll be able to tell it apart from the “normal” setting.)
  Under QuickTime Audio Settings >
  Input: Second 2 Channels >
  Click “OK”

  Now, try a capture. If the audio is on CH 3&4, you’ll get it into FCP.

  Remember to put your “normal” settings back (to “First 2 Channels”) after you captured CH 3&4 tracks.
