this is what I use

its the cheapest way of outputing or capturing via firewire

problem solved

I discovered by comparing earlier projects, that
in Sequence Settings > Audio Outputs >
the Grouping was set to mono

changing thus to stereo allows the pan controls in audio mixer to be changed and outputs audio to both channels

this sounds an interesting experiment

I just dont know what commercial use shooting and editing with so many cameras would have; its too expensive!

upto 4 Panavisions filming in sync on a set for a multi million dollar per episode TV series is one thing, but who would have the money and resources to routinly shoot with more than that

cutting football games with a 12 camera OB using a computerised shotlister to replicate the cuts for later onlining is routine.
Using PSC and using each take in separate tracks is routine, but where does 11 synced tracks come into practical use?

please explain

Hello David, thanks again for replying

tried B&T and doing as you suggest, still has playback on left channel only from track 1 audio

I did not expect this to work as the pan is already centred in the FCP audio mixer, which is grayed out – it cant be adjusted and the output master display only shows left signal present.

when I make a QT ref file of this, again only left channel has audio

I am not using an external mixer, my powered speakers are directly connected to the Mac line output, they output what the audio mixer shows. Both output channels work if there is an audio track in both track 1 and 2 but just cant get audio to route to both left and right from a single track

Thanks for replying to my post

Your suggestion does not work for me unfortunately
On checking why this did not work, I looked at the audio mixer. On all the the audio tracks I am using, the pan slider is greyed out

If I double click the audio clip to launch it into the viewer, the wave form shows with the pan and level slider settings. I can alter the levels settings and I can hear the change on my speakers
I can alter the pan settings but it does not change the sound on my speakers

So something is preventing me from altering the pan on all clips

The only thing that makes audio work on both chanels is if I copy each audio clip from track one and paste it into track two, but this is impractical with hundreds of clips to alter.
