To choose which audio channels to capture:
1 Make sure your audio interface is connected and selected in your current capture preset.
2 Choose File > Log and Capture (or press Command-8).
3 Click the Clip Settings tab.
4 Check that the number of input audio channels in the Input Channels pop-up menu
matches the number of channels available on your audio interface.
Note: The audio interface used for capturing is determined by the currently selected
capture preset. For more information about capture presets, see Volume IV, Chapter 25,
“Capture Settings and Presets.”
5 Select which channels from your audio interface you want to capture.
Important: When you select channels in the Clip Settings tab, you are selecting input
channels on the audio interface, not on the video or audio deck itself. For easy and
consistent audio capturing, you should connect the audio outputs on your deck to the
input channels with the same numbers. For example, if you are capturing from a Digital
Betacam deck, you should connect output channels 1–4 of the deck to input channels
1–4 of your audio interface.
6 Click the Stereo/Mono control next to any pair of audio channels that you want to
capture as a stereo pair, so it’s darkened.
Stereo/Mono control is
