FCP capture keeps resetting to 16-channel audio
I recently upgraded from G5 to Nehalem systems.
Running fcp 6.03
every cotton pickin time I go to capture, it grabs 16-channels or however many it can.
of course only the 2 channels have content and its a bit annoying, as I turn
those other channels off, it should stay off.but no, on both machines, one kona, one decklink, it keeps resetting to all channels.
any idea how to remedy this? I checked the easy setups, but it does not appear to
be in there.This did not happen before on the G5 systems.

It happens to me every time. I just have to remember to disable the other 14 channels before I begin logging or capturing. It’s annoying to have to individually turn off 14 channels…

Ken,
Obviously, your picture was taken at the precise moment you were deleting the tracks, my sympathies!
Have a wonderful day.

Try selecting the Stereo / Mono Control on each pair of audio inputs on your Clip Settings Tab of the Log and Capture window to Stereo Link. De-select the Green Audio Control buttons for channels 3 on down to 16 and leave linked. When restarting FCP and opening the Capture Window you should see only Stereo Tracks 1 & 2 selected.
Worked for me on 4 of our 6 Suites.
Theory is (my own of course and in no way does it bind me to any of the above) the input device connected to the computer is detected by FCP. Seeing that the possibility of 16 channels of audio exist all channels are selected. But when channels 3 – 16 are Stereo linked and turned off this somehow breaks the connection since additional audio tracks are viewed as Mono.
hope that helps,
Victor

thanks I’ll try that out.
this never occured on the G5 system with the same version of fcp 6.03.
its a new problem on the Nehalem systems only.(intel vs powerpc build of fcp maybe?)

Yes, 2 of our systems are still G-5’s and I don’t remember them having that problem. The other 4 are Intel’s and all are Leopard and up to date on Final Cut 6 and other programs.
The 2 G-5’s are running Kona 2’s while the Intel’s have Kona 3’s.

Trash prefs, open L&C turn off the green balls, close L&C.
It should stick.
