Apple Final Cut Pro 6 - Manual (Page 821)

36 Part I Audio Mixing
By default, Final Cut Pro uses the audio output device in the currently selected Easy
Setup. If you need more audio output channels or higher-quality outputs, you can
connect a third-party audio interface to your computer. For more information about
audio interfaces, see Volume 1, Chapter 12, “Connecting Professional Video and Audio
Equipment.” For information about choosing an audio output device for Final Cut Pro,
see “
Configuring Audio Outputs ” on page 37.
Defining Output Busses by Grouping
Output busses can be grouped together as dual mono or stereo outputs.
Dual Mono Output Groups
Dual mono output groups allow you to output tracks to hardware outputs discretely.
Assign a sequence track to a dual mono output whenever you want to send your audio
directly to a hardware output without pan control.
