Capturing audio tracks 3 and 4
I am trying to capture audio from a tape that is split into 4 tracks. The first two tracks captured with my initial capture of the video, but I do not see a way to capture audio tracks 3 and 4.
Any tips?
Thanks

Do you have all four channels of audio feeding in to your system?
Do you have Channels 3 and 4 turned on in the Clip Setting window?

Virtually all camcorders with the DV format can playback Ch. 3 & 4, but you need to switch them to that mode (likely in the MENU settings for audio).
Likewise, FCP must be set to access Ch. 3 & 4.
Here’s how (it is the same for PAL, but you will of course use the PAL settings):Final Cut Pro (menu pull-down) >
Audio/Video Settings >
Capture Presets >
Click the “Duplicate…” button >
a new “Capture Preset Editor” window will open >
Change the “Name:” field to DV NTSC 32 kHz CH 3&4 (so you’ll be able to tell it apart from the “normal” setting.)
Under QuickTime Audio Settings >
Input: Second 2 Channels >
Click “OK”Now, try a capture. If the audio is on CH 3&4, you’ll get it into FCP.
Remember to put your “normal” settings back (to “First 2 Channels”) after you captured CH 3&4 tracks.

That looks like it should work. Thanks.

is there a way with an hdv deck to caputre all four channels at the same time, if my deck is capable to do that?

As far as I know from the advice I have gotten here on this forum, this is not possible to do through firewire.
