Yes, it definitely seems as though there isn’t enough signal making it to the Io HD. But, I do have the mixer maxed out–I can hear a lot of hiss and ambient noise with it cranked up, but very quiet when monitoring with FCP.

Well, I have the mic connected to the mixer via XLR, then another XLR goes out of the mixer to the Io HD. And, again when I connect headphones to the mixer to “monitor,” it appears to be fine. But somewhere after the mixer, the signal breaks down and when watching the audio meter in the log and capture window, the meter responds, but doesn’t get very loud–its peak never reaches yellow or red.
And the meter in the front of the Io HD also doesn’t get very high (loud). The Io HD control panel on the Mac is set for analog audio input. I tried a different XLR cable just to troubleshoot, but it had the same result. I also tried a different Mac with FCP and had the same result there too.

Hi again. I have a little 4 channel mixer now and when I hook up headphones to the mixer, the audio sounds as it should.
But, the audio being captured by Final Cut is barely audible–even with the mixer all the way to “11” and the gain in FCP cranked up.
Does it mean I need an amplifier also? I’m surprised that I would need one in addition to the Io HD and the cheap mixer. Perhaps in my haste to get the mixer, I should’ve looked into something with additional power.

Actually, we have a Duet by Apogee that I might try to use for this function.

ok–cool.
And, I see now that the RCA connectors on the back of the ioHD are for monitoring–not audio input.

thanks Jeremy you’ve been a big help.
In regards to audio. If we use the setup as described (capturing the live feed directly into FCP via ioHD), how should we handle the audio? I’ve been testing with the built-in mic on the HVX200, but no audio is in the clip after capture. Naturally, I have an analog connection from the camera (red and white RCA) to the ioHD, and I set the control panel for audio to be analog, but still nothing.
Is the proper workflow to skip the camera all together and run audio from external microphones to the ioHD using the XLR connections? I guess “log and capture” will bring in that audio along with the video and put them in the clip together?

I believe the firmware is up to date–this is what the updater says:

awesome–thanks. For whatever reason, the uninstall/re-install did the trick.

OK–thanks.
I did install everything from the AJA disc and I have printed the included manual, but I cannot seem to get anything on the external monitor. It works fine when the camera is attached to the ioHD and FCP is capturing.
But, I cannot go from the Mac to ioHD to monitor. I’ve tried altering the AV settings in FCP, but cannot seem to get it to work.
Is there some other manual you are recommending, or were you just speaking of the one on the AJA install disc?

OK–thanks.
So, if I proceed with 24p footage in a 60p timeline, when the project is completed and I’m authoring a SD DVD, Compressor will analyze what I send over from the timeline and it will pull out the duplicate frames and get it to the frame rate required for a DVD?
Or would I need to reverse telecine?
On another subject, if I use the ioHD to display my timeline on an external monitor, I need to output from the Mac via DVI or minidisplay or something, right? The FireWire connection between the ioHD and the Mac isn’t used for this purpose is it?
