Ok… that does present a problem.

Ok… Since you are using DV, I assume that you want to record four channels to DV and import a four channel DV tapes. I’m not sure about the DSR-11 but you can set your DSR-45 to 32k audio which will give you four tracks of audio to record and playback.

BUT here’s the problem. FCP will only use 2 channels of DV audio at a time. So…. doing four channels of DV (input & output) is not possible in FCP. Sorry.

One solution is to purchase an AJA IO and use it with a DSR-1500a with SDI outputs. Then you can use a custom preset to set your audio to four seperate channels. OR you could setup two different Easy Setups – one with channels 1 &2 and the other with channels 3 & 4 ONLY after your set your cameras and machines to 32k audio and then you capture your clips twice so that you get all four channels. But this will only get the audio in but not out.

I hope that sheds some light for you.
