  • Mojo no audio via firewire?

    Hi –

    I just moved to a new place and am trying to get an Express/Mojo system (PC) up to snuff. Apparently the system will need capture audio via Firewire. Is this a common problem? Is there a workaround? Or…?

    Thanks

    Ron

    I don’t understand – is capturing audio via firewire a problem? Or can’t you get audio into the Avid via firewire?

    With firewire, everything stays digital. With analog, well, it’s analog.

    Jon –

    Sorry if I was being obtuse 🙂

    Yes, I can’t get the Avid to sense audio via firewire. The pulldown
    is set correctly and it passes video, but no audio.

    What deck are you using? Is the deck / camera certified? (https://www.avid.com/content/8927/SUPPORTED%20DEVICES%20FOR%20AVID%20EDITOR%20PRODUCTS.pdf)

    From the dumb question but you gotta’ ask file; Do you have audio on the tape?

    I’ve had problems with source tapes from VX1000 cameras (they sample audio at 32k – default in Avid is 48k. You can check in the audio settings tab).

    Deck is a Panasonic AJ-SD755. Yes, audio on the tape.
    Thanks for the link to the compatibility matrix.

    Did you ever get this issue figured out? I’m having the same problem.
