audio input problem
I am trying to capture audio from a mic straight into FCP via the blackmagic card.
The mic has an XLR connection, I am connecting it straight into the XLR input connection on the blackmagic tether cables, connected to the card.
I get no levels, no audio input signal.In FCP I have the capture setting to audio input: Decklink Audio.
In the system preferences as well, in the Decklink section, I have it set to: XLR analog audio.
I am sure the mic is ON and working, since I can get signal if I plug it into my mixing board and speakers.
any idea what could be the culprit here??
thx.

The card’s inputs do not work except only when capturing (Premiere, FCP etc.) I really needed this as well but unfortunately the ASIO and the whole driver in general lacks this capability.
In regards to your mike…Is it a condenser or dynamic microphone? If it is the first, then you’ll need a phantom powered pre-amp or audio card with phantom powered inputs to use the mic.
Secondly the XLR is for balanced line in audio, NOT microphones!
You can do a little research, but I managed to use my mike preamp to the Line in of the Audigy with great results and I can use my monitor speakers from my decklink output just fine…
