no audio on log & capture
not sure what’s happening…not hearing audio while capturing. I see levels on deck and in FCP, speakers are on & not muted. Am i missing something? Using mini-dv panasonic deck with G5 using firewire…

In the Log and Capture window, go to the Clip Settings tab and check the Preview box under the Audio section.

Kelly,
If you set up your FCP system w/o looking at the manual, you probably don’t have your speakers connected properly.Connect your speakers to the deck/camcorder and not the Mac. Connect the NTSC monitor to the deck/camcorder as well. Make sure that the View Menu is set to External Video>All Frames.
The only problem with the “spec” setup is that audio from your Mac may also need to be routed to the same speakers, right?
In that case, I have a small mixer set up to my speakers. I feed the deck/camcorder’s cables and a cable from the mac to the mixer so I can have both a spec audio setup for FCP and can run iTunes, Soundtrack the same way.
If you can’t afford a mixer, a small Y-adapter cable from radio shack will do the trick.
