Voice Over tool – number of simultaneous inputs
I have just hooked up a Fasttrack Pro USB audi interface to my MBP and finished a Voice Over using the VO tool.. IT sounds INCREDIBLE!
PROBLEM – The Fasttrack Pro has two audio inputs.. But the FCP Voice Over tool only recognizes one of them.. (Both channls of The Fasttrack pro work fine in garage band but not in FCP VO tool)
Does FCP voice over tool have a limitation to only one MIC input??? yikes..
I am very open to any solutions.. maybe even importing the video in to SOUND TRACK..
thanks

Voiceover input is mono only I believe. Why do you need more that one input? two people talking?

HI Shane.. thanks for the response 🙂
Yes we are doing a commentary for a 1 hour SPORTS SHOW (as if we were LIVE).
Normally we go into a studio and they use pro tools with a QT export we give them… and then they export an audio file for us…
We imported the video into SOUNDTRACK and it seems to have fixed our problem.. both mics work in sound track….. the true test will be tomorrow when the talent arrives…
Any thoughts?
BTW – our 2 mic, $500 (not inclusing computer of course) audio set up sounds unbelieveable.. technology is amazing!

For one, I am really impressed that you tested things before the talent arrived. You’d be shocked how many people don’t, and are bitten once they encounter an issue just like this.
Your solution sounds fine. Soundtrack is designed for this, FCP isn’t. SO you worked it out.

thanks Shane…
If I can pull this off it a HUGE learning experience… so I am eager for it to work!
In SoundTrack, when we record with 2 mics the audio is immediately recorded “left channel, right channel” in the same track… so when we do a play back.. MIC/Input 1 comes out of the right speaker and MIC/Input 2 comes out of the left speaker…
Only after we “mix” the recording (mix down to DUAL MONO or something like that) can we here both INPUTS, 1 & 2 (both voices) coming out of both speakers.. Doing this MIX DOWN takes about 30 seconds..
Is there any way that we can record, using two mics (INPUTS) and get immediate playback of both mics (INPUTS) through both speakers.. without any mixing…. I would guess there is some sort of setting for this?
thanks

“Pan your MONITOR amp or mixer to Mono.
