<HTML>This question has to do with the audio capture settings in FCP 2. It's a bit long but I would appreciate the help.
I am capturing a few wedding interviews that were shot on an xl1. I am using the xl1 to capture it into the cpu. Here is the problem.
I know the person who shot it used a wireless mic connected to the xl1 for the interview sequence. I'm pretty sure that he used a mix from the onboard mic and the wireless to achieve his sound. It was 12 bit audio recording as well.
What I want to do is take the audio from the wireless mic. When I play the footage on the xl-1 and listen to the audio direct from the camera with the headphones on, and select Stereo 2 on the xl-1, the wireless mic sounds perfect..loud and full. So I go and capture it into the cpu via firewire and I barely get any sound from the wireless. It seems it is completely from the on board shot gun. No matter what selections I make in
final cut 2 - ch1 + ch2, ch1R, Ch2L, stereo mix, or mono mix I still get the same result.
I need the wireless mic sound loud and clear. I need to know whether to change settings on the xl1's output or change the settings in fcp2. Or what changes to make on them together. It sounds great on the xl1 but the same no matter what after capture.
Totally perplexed ....would appreciate any help! Thanks
