I have the same problem with a client’s system. Seems like everyone with this problem is on a Mac. Mine is a 2009 iMac. Everyone else encountering the problem on an older Mac, or anyone running into this with a Windows system or newer Mac?

I just read through your track assignments. So you record field and VO booth audio in stereo?
That’s pretty unusual. Even the primetime work I do doesn’t do that. What are you working on??

Sweet! Thanks for clearing me up with my confusing nomenclature!
Sometimes you just type so fast to get the problem out that I forgot to be clear.

I really don’t want/need an 8 channel output. I do need, or at least it makes it easier, to work with 8 channels in the the sequence timeline. In 5-8 i can have stereo tracks that layer and/or mix to each other, and in 1-4 i can have dialogue, VO, sfx, and nats all mono, designed/mixed for dual mono.
That is a fairly standard, or a variation of, how audio for broadcast is designed. Albeit you usually do make a 8 or 10 channel Master, and a stereo mix for actual broadcast.
I usually work with Avids, but this is a personal project I did at home, and don’t know FCP inside and out like I do the Avid. I will try switching it back to stereo output and see if it works this time, because it seemed to only output 1 channel, track 1, when I did that earlier. The problem is, it will probably take channel 1, and only put it left, channel 2 right, channel 3 left, and so on. Yes, no?
Thanks for the help! It’s always nice to get a hand. Hopefully this can be figured out.

Well, two things. 1, i wanted to just output it and get a version of it to view on some scopes, which worked except it only output 1 or 2 channels. and 2, the way the sequence is set up, channels 1-4 are designed to be dual mono, and 5-8 stereo.
I guess I could just do a manual mix down, but that seems so clumsy.

OK… I trashed my prefs and it worked. I hadn’t done that in awhile I guess.
