Captured audio differs from source tape….
Hello All-
I’m digitizing some HD tapes which have been downconverted to DVCAM. After
capturing (via FW) I’m getting a message that says my
captured clips audio doesn’t match the source tapes
audio. However, the clips seem to play just fine. I
then looked at the audio indicator on my DSR-40 and
when the tape is playing the Fs-32k lights up which
(according to the manual) means that the tape was
recorded in 4 channel mode. Since I did sound on the
HD shoot I know there were only two tracks so I’m
thinking something went down in the dubbing process
that “added” two tracks that the FW codec doesn’t like
or something. Should I be concerned or is there a
setting to change that would make this right? -

It’s possible that the dub house used 32k audio, even though there are only 2 channels. You may want to speak to them about this.
FCP can automatically upsample the audio to 48k on capture, & it sounds like that’s what you’ve got it set up to do. I assume that you’re going to online from the original HD tapes. If so, don’t worry too much about it, since you can re-capture the original audio at that time, too. Unless, of course, you were planning on sending the audio out for final mix before you online, in which case you may need to have new dubs made, or find another workaround for the audio.
