Hi Walter, I’ve made some progress with the issue. Not sure exactly what I changed to make it work but I am now able to bring audio into FCE via CH1 and 2 on the mixer for voice over. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky?? Thank you for your input; have a great week.

Hi Ian, thank you for the reply.. I’ve made some progress but still haven’t completely solved everything. Here’s where I am at; I’ve figured out how to bring my voice into FCE for voice over (channel 1) and assume that channel 2 would work as well (haven’t tried). What I haven’t been able to do is bring any music in (channel 5/6 on mixer) to capture with the voice over feature. I’ve found a work-around with this by bringing the 5/6 channel into Traction 3 (music software), convert with itunes to an aiff format then import into FCE and edit from there. . I don’t know if FCE voice over is limited to only ch1&2 and that’s why it doesn’t acknowledge the 5/6? Logic tells me that as long as there is a signal coming in through the FW, FCE shouldn’t be able to distinguish which channel on the mixer it’s plugged into, but this is speculation on my part.. So, is my work-around for the music input the way it has to be done, or am I able to cut some steps out of the process and do this with the voice over feature (although the voice over has it’s limits as well; can only record for the length of the video track). So, maybe the work-around actually is the best route? Most problems typically stem from lack of knowledge; this as been a big learning curve for me, but think I have made quite a bit of progress (not very much sleep though).. Thank you for your thoughts..
