FCP keeps capturing both audio channels. I just need channel 1.
I’m using FCP4.0. Capturing from a Panasonic DVX100-A.
I set the camera to play back only channel 1, since I have a bunch of ambient sound that I don’t want on channel 2. Tried capturing a few different ways, (audio settings: ch1 + ch2 and Left channel.
Both times, It just gives me both channels of my tape mixed mono on channel 1.
I’m going to go repair permissions, run scripts, clear prefs and restart again. FCP has been very temperamental lately. I hope this isn’t just another one of those fluke things I’ve been running into.

You camcorder’s settings don’t matter because FCP captured the DV signal directly from the tape and ignores any camera setting.
In FCP the setting you want is:
Log & Capture > Clip Settings (tab) > Audio Format: > Ch 1 (L)
But, even if you choose Ch 1 + Ch 2 or Stereo (and FCP captures both channels) you will be able to separate them when you edit.
Just make sure when you choose an audio track that the “Stereo Pair” setting (Modify menu) is NOT clicked.
Then you can edit from either of the two audio tracks (individually) to the timeline.
