  • Audio Digitizing???

    Posted by Steve Cohen on February 6, 2007 at 2:51 pm

    I remember there is a place in Final Cut to change the way Audio is captured.

    2 Channel mono, Stereo Pair and so on.

    For the life of me I can’t find that setting again and all of out footage that is being digitized in out Ingestion station is coming in as a stereo pair, instead of channel panned left and right.

    I checked the capture setting and didn’t see it there.

    I’m using an AJA IO to capture.

    Anyone have an idea of where that is.

    Go to the audio/video prefferences and open the capture-presets tab. Them look in the kist for the preset that you are using (the one is checked) and doble click to open it and edit. There you can choose the kind of audio imput when capturing.

    Yeah that’s what I thought to, but that only show the type (Analog 4 Channel, SDI 8 Channel, and so on), but it doesn’t allow me to specify Stereo Pair, 2 Cannel Mono.

    We didn’t used to have this problem. Everything came in channel panned left and right and then our timeline sent it out mixed.

    I don’t know what happened?

    What version of FCP are you using. I believe it changed from 4.5 to 5. In 5+, in the Log and Capture
    Window, select Clip Settings. In the Audio area, to the left of each pair of channels (1-2 for example)
    there’s a little box with 2 circles in it. Select that box/toggle to link as stereo pairs, or de-select for mono.
    In 4.5 I think there’s a drop down box with your choices in the same area.

    hey Steve

    you’re looking for the Clip Settings tab in the Log and Capture window … or if you already logged then you can change it by right clicking the logged clip and chosing Clip Settings from the popup

    cheers

    I beleive that is going to be it. I have to get a chance to look in that particular station, but on my system that looks like it will work.

    They are both 5.1.2 the difference is one uses an AJA IO and mine uses a Black macig Multibridge extreme.

    Thanks for the help everyone and Andy don’t worry about being late, it happens to the best of us.

    Thanks again.

    Well I looked at my ingestion Station and it was set to 2 channel.

    It turns out that my logging software HD Logger had gotten changed to stereo in the export settings instead A1+A2.

    Thanks again for all the advice.
