Multichannel Audio Capture Track Selection
Final Cut Pro can capture up to 24 audio tracks from a video or audio interface. Each
input on your audio interface is shown in a list in the Clip Settings tab. You can select
up to 24 inputs for simultaneous capture. You can also group adjacent channels
together as a stereo pair, or leave them as mono channels. For more information about
capturing multiple audio channels, see “

See “
Multichannel Audio Channel Selection
If you change your mind about the audio grouping after you capture, you can make
channel grouping adjustments by choosing Modify > Clip Settings, or by relinking clip
items in the Timeline. For example, two adjacent mono channels can be regrouped as a
stereo pair. For more information, see “
and Volume II, Chapter 14, “Linking and Editing Video and Audio in Sync.”
Important:
In Final Cut Pro 6, mono audio channels are each captured to a separate
track in a QuickTime media file. Stereo pairs are each captured to a single interleaved
track in a QuickTime media file. In previous versions of Final Cut Pro, only two-channel
audio capture was supported to a single QuickTime audio track. Therefore, older
versions of Final Cut Pro can only recognize media files if you capture them with a
single stereo pair audio track.
