  • Problems Assembling Edit to Channel 3&4 – DVW A-500 DigiBeta.

    Posted by Paul Factora on January 20, 2007 at 12:01 pm

    Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

    I’m going out of a Canapus box that has only 2 audio outputs.
    Channels 1 & 2 recorded fine.

    -I switched the plugs to go in 3&4 inputs on the Deck.
    -Muted 1&2 and did an insert Edit. No levels…
    -I get a preview tone that gets levels on the deck but none during the Insert edit.

    On the deck panel only channels 1&2 buttons light up.

    Any ideas?

    Much Thanks,

    Paul

    Go here, it’s free: https://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=180 Click on “Setting up for multichannel output”.

    This tutorial on Lynda.com explains exactly how you need to set up your system for mulichannel output.

    A year of total access only costs $250 bucks. Considering how many hours of tutorial they have, it’s a bargain.

    Mark.

    thanks for the link but my audio tracks settings appear to be ok.

    Is there any other reason I’m not getting levels on 3&4? The 3&4 lights on the VTR deck panel do not light up.

    this is crazy. I have Tracks 3&4 set to Output 3&4 on the timeline but the Master levels I am getting in Tool Bench are 1&2.

    Open the audio mixer and unclick the ‘downmix’ button.

    Are you enabling channels 3 & 4 in the edit to tape window?

    You don’t want to route your audio to output 3&4 if your device only has 2 channel output. It will never see 3&4.

    You want to mute the stuff you already sent in the first pass, then send your new mix to channels 3&4 on the deck by moving the cables.
