Makes sense but at the end of the day, I just just shut off one of the mono tracks in my clip. If I were ingesting tons of clips then that might be a better way to go but at that point I would just do it right and get myself a Zoom recorder or the like.

@Brett: We are using a Audio-Technica AT899 Lavalier. Although it is an XLR, we are using an XLR to Stereo 3.5 adapter. I know we really should be going directly XLR to a recorder like the Zoom H4N but we need to justify it in terms of amount of videos produced. I’m sure that will come in time. Thank you for the suggestion.
@Jeremy: Thank you for the advice! I will be sure I make those changes in the next production.
You guys ROCK!

@Jeremy: Yup, that did the trick. Below is a link to the updated video that now works on iPhone via speakers.

Just curious, If I were to have changed the audio in the original footage before I created the multi-cam, would it have translated to the actual project or would I have to make that change everytime within the project?
@Brett: I have to figure out how to get the audio to record stereo. I am going directly in the DSLR but I might need to looking into a recorder like the Zoom H4N.
Thanks for ALL your help guys!

np.. here you go.

Sure, here you go.

No kidding, the “irony”! That’s why it’s killing me that I’m having these issues. No pain, no gain. LOL!
In any case, here is a screen grab.

@Jeremy: Yeah, I should’ve been more clear that it was an issue in general. Below is link to the video in question. If you listen to it via the iPhone speaker you’ll have issues with the dialogue audio but plug in headphones and it sounds perfect.

@Bill: I check everything all seems well. My export plays well on every device but when it comes to listening to it via the iPhones speakers the interview audio cuts out BUT funny enough the intro music plays just fine. Just as a background, I recorded the product demo with a DSLR via a Lavalier mic connected directly into the camera. When I brought that footage into FCPX, the audio came in as 2ch Stereo. Now that I created the multi-cam, not sure whether I should adjust the audio in the original clip/multi-cam clip or directly in the project that i cut. Someone mentioned adding a “Gain” effect, selecting “convert to mono” and chosing either phase left or right. That didnt’ seem to work for me either. Sorry, in advance for the newbie question.
@Jeremy: Clever idea but checked all the devices, iphone, ipad and all have Mono off and Left/Right centered in the Prefs. Thanks!

Yes, I solved this a while back but since then have moved on to FCP X.
It’s not a compressor issue but rather within Final Cut Pro.
The first thing I did was go up to my “sequence settings” under Sequence menu. Then in the “audio outputs” tab make sure that your downmix is set to “0” and groupings is set to “stereo”. In my case and most likely your case, the grouping is set to “dual mono”. This was the main issue.
After I made that change, I went to my clip audio in the sequence and deleted one of the “stereo” tracks and made sure the remaining tracks was panned to “0”. You might have to bump up the gain/volume on that single track BUT now you shouldn’t have an issue with audio.

Awesome! I’m so glad that it helped.
These and other forums are a great resource. I’m constantly learning new things and I’m grateful for the people who can share what they know.
