Audio Mixer Diplay

The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.

Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.

make sure the mixer is set to monitor the canvas and not the viewer.

I trashed the prefs nothings changed. And it’s set to canvas.
The only thing I’ve discovered is if the audio is unrendered the track display returns.
( Obviously I have to render to listen ) and when I do render poof they dissappear.
I intially rendered because after importing my aiff files from Pro tools all of my tracks were panned hard to 1 channel and after centering and layering several tracks, FCP needed to render to facilitate playback.
I’d mix this in Pro tools but their are latency issuses and I can adjust my sync in FCP if necc. Any more advice?

You shouldn’t need to be rendering the audio. Perhaps your RT track count is still set to the (very low) default 8 tracks.

Final Cut Pro > User Preferences > General > Real-Time Audio Mixing

Make it 32 tracks and see what happens.
