Sound Mixer ?/FCP5 with an AJA IOLA box.

[Pete Sake]

I’ll try for 1/4″
Maybe this is the mixer I should be getting. Not sure of the cost.

Peter that is not a mixer, it is a mixing control surface. It is really just an expensive mouse. There are no inputs for audio and no audio signal will pass through it. It is purely for controlling faders in your computer software program. Just hook up your mackie 1202 and as I explained and edit to your hearts content. If your are doing multitrack audio (like a lot of channels) in FCP and you want a control surface, to mix on the fly, then go for it. But from what you’ve said of your workflow so far that controller wont do you any good.

they(sony) have a add on that can give the 2800 4 channels of audio, lok on ebay I have seen them real cheap, i for get what there called but idf you look around you will see them, it’s just an add on to the top of the 2800.

Thanks Everyone for taking the time to help me as we take the plunge from M100 to FCP5

The Odb on my Mackie comes into FCP at approx -26db. You get -12 db (I get confused over the digital Odb and the Analog Odb.)
ALSO
Were not getting real time dissolves or real time by adding a second track gets a red bar.
We are in Safe RT. Capture input AJAlo la: YPb Pr Betacam US DV/DVCPRO.
