No audio during log & capture

[David Bogie]

What video machine and how is it attached to the computer?
Listening to the audio output on a mixer is indicates only there’s audio on your tape.

Default for all Apple presets is for the Speaker to be OFF when capturing. If you’re listening to the output of Final Cut Pro during Capture, you need to turn the Speaker ON.

Go into your Capture Preset. Go then go down to Audio, Advanced. Turn the Speaker On.

Make sure your deck’s audio output is connected to the mixer.

Figured it out! The Gain on the Clip Settings menu was turned down to 50, which apparently is low enough not to capture an audible signal. Turned it all the way up to 150 and it’s working fine. (Had it been turned down to 0, I might have figured it out sooner.)

(By the way, the source VTR is a BetaSX connected via SDI.)

Thanks to all of you who took the time to offer suggestions.

Ah. SDI. That would have been nice to know. DV inputs are non-adjustable.
