No audio in “edit to tape”?
I am editing in FCP going through an AJA IoLa to a Sony Digibeta deck.
I can’t get audio to the deck from FCP when “editing to tape”. “print to video” works fine, but I cant get the right timecode, so I can’t use that. I’ve checked ALL the FCP audio settings. Been through them with AJA tech support too.
I’ve tried different firmware upgrading/downgrading for the AJA IoLa and different drivers.
Also, scrubbing through the timeline works. Audio bars on the deck bounce, so that works fine.
Any idea why I can’t get it to edit to tape with audio?
My to try list for tomorrow:
– try a 3rd firewire cable
– reinstall FCP (already tried 2 different computers)
– “edit to tape” a single file instead of a nested timeline.
… any more ideas to try? -

Also, is the cabling known to be good? Longshot.
My first guess is user error in enabling the deck. We have some Panny DVC Pro decks with a source button for video and one for audio, and each one can be toggled between SDI, Analog, built-in test tone, and lord knows what else. Usually, these things are “pilot error” where you thought you did a setting right, but didn’t REALLY look hard at it. I’ve done it, you have too, or you will, someday. So, check those input selectors one more time, never hurts.

Just for reference the solution to this problem was to nest the timeline and check “mixdown audio”. Not sure why this is required but it is.
