  Audio question

  Posted by Brian Keith on February 3, 2006 at 9:57 pm

  Hi all…sort of new to FCP. I was digitizing some video via firewire…I was wondering how I can control the levels when digitizing? I do not know how to go about it. Thanks!!!

  Firewire is a purely digital signal, and you cannot control the levels of the on-board audio while digitising. If your levels are too soft, you can boost them within FCP.

  I had a problem once where the recorded levels were a little too loud, and distorting in certain spots – I re-digitised only the audio routing it through a mixer and into an analog capture card so I could pad it down. Fiddly and a niusance.

  You don’t. Firewire is a direct, unaltered copy of what’s on tape.
