About the Voice Over Tool
The Voice Over tool records directly to an audio track in the Timeline between the
sequence In and Out points. To get audio into Final Cut Pro, you can use any Mac OS X–
compatible audio interface connected to your computer’s PCI slot, FireWire port, or USB
port. You can also use the built-in audio input on your computer. While you record, you
can monitor the sequence audio using the selected playback audio device. For more
information about selecting an audio device for output, see “
Configuring External
Audio Monitors ” on page 32.
