firewire and audio
I am working with a tape that has 4 channels of audio and I am only able to get two of them into FCP. I am using the DSR-11. Is there something I can do to get all four in?
Thank you.

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 48 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.
