To set up Final Cut Pro to output more than two channels of audio:
1 Choose the third-party video or audio interface you want to use for audio output in the
A/V Devices tab of the Audio/Video Settings window, then configure its options.
For more information on selecting an audio interface in the A/V Devices tab, see
Volume 1, Chapter 12, “Connecting Professional Video and Audio Equipment.”
2 Make sure that the audio outputs of your video or audio interface are physically
connected to the audio inputs of your video or audio recording device with the
proper cables.
3 Configure the Audio Outputs tab (found in the Sequence Settings window) of the sequence
you want to edit to tape with the number of audio channels you want to output.
For more information on configuring the audio outputs of sequences, see Volume III,
Chapter 2, “Assigning Output Channels and External Audio Monitors.”
4 Assign each audio track in your sequence to the proper output channel.
5 Choose a device control preset that contains an audio mapping with the same number
of audio channels as the video or audio deck you are going to output to.
