Help!!! Why is my 4 ch audio not recording?
I am trying to output 4 audio tracks to each of the four audio tracks on my digibeta DVW-M2000P, but it seems not matter what i try only two are output and its doing a mix of the four tracks.
I have tried changing the Audio Output preset as described in the manual but that does not seem to work.
My digibeta is switching all four tracks on to record, but i don’t understand why the audio is being mixed prior to output.
Any suggestions as to how to get four tracks going to four channels would be really appreciated.
I am using FCP5.1.2, on a 4gb Quad, with Kona 3 and 3.5tb raid. All audio and video is being sent via SDI through the Kona 3.

Hi
Have you created a 4-channel sequence – using the Duplicate option on the right Audio Output tab of User Preferences.
Then create a new sequence with this preset, and copy/paste all your 2-channel timeline video/audio contents into the new sequence.
Ctrl-click each audio track in the lefthand margin where the moveable a1 a2 markers reside, and assign each audio track to the approprate output channel.When you Edit To Tape use the lower-right Audio Channel assignment icon to turn on All Channels for audio.
(This is with FCP 5.1.1, maybe the last command has changed slightly with 5.1.2).
