audio presets VS source tape
I just bought a Canon Mini DV ZR800 with line in and am using a Rode mike. (for vlogging on the fly).
When I loaded it into FCP it worked fine but it said:
The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your preset matches the sample rate of your tape.”
Um, don’t quite get it..I am using a panasonic DVM60 tape and the preset is for DV NTSC 48Khz. Standard to get the mini DV tape in.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Some cameras record audio at 48Khz for 2 tracks or 32Khz for 4 tracks. Maybe check your camera menu settings to see if your “mic in” or “audio in” is set for 2 tracks at 48KHZ and not 4 tracks at 3200Khz.

Also shouldn’t you be using mic level instead of line level or are you running the mic through a mixer or DI?

thanks for responding…This camera is really cheap, like $250, but it’s beauty is that is has mic input mini jack. So for travelling and great sounding blogs it’s good. The audio options are 12 bit – records audio on two channels (stereo 1) and leaves two (stereo 2)free. That is what is was on.
The other is 16bit which just says records audio at the highest quality. I guess I want that one right?

Yes the 16 bit is it. FCP can deal with the 3200 but you may as well use 4800Khz and that should get rid of the error message.
