Thanks for your response.
I don’t quite follow the panning issue. How can I test this? And do you mean that there may be some setting that is on the Digibeta deck when I blacken the tape that causes it to be Mono?
In FCP I tried edit to tape with stereo pair and and with dual mono tracks and there was no difference. I also tried to export a quicktime from the sequence using both techniques and it was still mono. The only time I can get the real stereo tracks exported is if I do them one at a time but turning of Audio track 1 and exporting and AIFF file and then doing the other track 2 the same way and then importing them both again.
Do you know why this may be happening?
Thanks again,
Ané
