    I do not know if this is a Final Cut issue, our company has been up until now just capturing straight audio from a Canon GL2, with no problems. Now we have a shotgun, and a wireless lav mic set up. We had to get an adapter for the audio which is a BeachTek DXA-4P, it has XLR inputs, and thats what we’re using. When I capture the audio now, the audio is always out of sync by roughly two seconds (audio starting later than the video) is this a capturing issue? since I have two channels coming in, or is it an equipment issue, we’re just trying to narrow down the problem in our production pipeline.

    Thanks!

    the tape looks and sounds fine, I even spoke with the BeachTek people, they say it must be a Final Cut issue, they of course don’t know what :-/

    It sounds like an FCP issue, but I cannot find the relation between the two (yet).
    Is there a possibility that something has changed to the audio sample rate on the camera, that it perhaps to 32kHz instead of 48kHz?

    well, the GL2 doesn’t have an option for the audio sample rate that I can see, the only audio option at all really is the audio mode which only gives two options, 16bit, and 12bit.
