  • Four Channel Audio Mix to Tape

    Posted by Craig Ernst on July 28, 2005 at 10:47 pm

    Hi,

    In editing my shows I typically have VO on audio Track 1, nat sound and FX on audio Track 2, and stereo music on audio tracks 3,4,5&6.

    I want to output this to HDCAM tape in a FOUR channel audio mix. I would like Audio track 1 9from timeline) to go to audio track 1 on tape and Audio track 2 (from timeline) to go to audio track 2 on tape and I would like audio tracks 3,4,5,6 (from timeline) to go to audio tracks 3&4 on tape.

    In the world of avid there was a simple way to map audio wherever you wanted to and mix all the music tracks could just go to a stereo mix on tape.

    How do I do this in FCP.

    Thanks,
    Craig

    You need to have your project set up for four channel which is done by creating a four channel preset under User Preferences and Audio Outputs. Then, change your Sequence Settings under Audio Outputs to the 4 channel preset you just created. If you right-click (or control-click) in the space to the left of the track label, you can set which output channel each track goes to.
