Only one sound track
I had transfered digi-beta pal master transfered to lacie drives to edit on fcp 4.5. When I look at quicktime all tracks are there but when I reconcect I only get one track. I went back to the facilty and they were able to reconnect and get both tracks, but told me they had upgraded to fcp 5. What is the problem and is there a solution.
Thanks

Earlier I had a post about a similar issue. The problem is that when clips are captured in FCP 5 with Dual Mono audio, Soundtrack Pro will only open CH1 audio. I can’t get it to look at CH2.
I spent a while with and Apple Tech on the phone and he had the same problem. There is something wierd about how FCP 5 is capturing dual mono audio. Or perhaps its how the AJA I/O is capturing with its new drivers for FCP 5. The Apple said he would send this up to the “Pro” guys, but that it might be something it does on pupose. That is not being able to export CH 2 audio to Soundtrack Pro might be a “feature” not a “bug”
When I used Peak-DV to open the FCP 5 clips I noticed that Peak asks you which of the two audio tracks you want to open. It only opens one at a time, but at least I can get to CH2 audio this way. Whats interesting is that Peak asks if I want to open the quicktime file audio from ch4 or ch5.
I’ve know that quicktime can have many tracks of audio, but its interesting that FCP 5 is capturing the audio in these higher number tracks, and I wonder if this could be related to the problem.
In the meantime I capture stuff in stereo and then seperate it if I want to do pre-pro on the audio. Or I use Peak if all I’m doing is normalizing.
