I have searched the forum but I still can't figure out how to do this. I videod a staff meeting with my XL-1s setup for 12 bit 4 channel audio. I used a wireless lapel on the speaker coming into the camcorder on Audio 2 left/right. I used the canon on camcorder mic on Audio 1 for the room. When I play back the tape I can hear my ST 1, ST 2, and MIX and hear the differences between the lapel and camcorder mic audio. When I did my first capture into FCP 4 I setup with video + audio 1 & 2. On play back of my clips I could hear my ST-1 audio. Then I duplicated my clip again and tried to capture ST-2 audio only but it did not work. On the audio monitor I selected ST-2 audio and while I monitored the capture and could hear ST-2 audio FCP only captured ST-1. Is there a setting in FCP? Is it because I'm using firewire between my camcorder and my Mac? Any help would be GREAT!!!

Thanks Jerome

You have to do two captures. One capture for the first two tracks and the second for tracks 3 and 4.

Thanks for the info folks. I think that I have the issue figured out. It has to do with the capture settings in FCP. I went to the Apple discussion forum and found a few things. I'm going to test out my setup tonight. If it works I'll post my findings.
