Hello,

I am new to FCP but have used other NLE's. I am currently stumped by what should be quite simple. I am not getting any monitoring audio while attempting to log tape. The audio meter is moving to show the audio is there, but I can't hear it while logging. The book says to check the audio monitoring box under the appropriate tab. I found the box with no problem but it is uncheckable. For whatever reason FCP will not let me check it off.

I get audio fine while viewing other clips that have already been imported just not real time audio while viewing straight from the camera.

What stupid simple little step am I missing that will allow me check of the box to activate audio monitoring????


Thanks

While you have the log and capture tool open, go to the clip settings tab. There is a checkbox there for audio preview. It doesn't default to the checked mode.

After consulting the manual, that is the first thing I tried......the problem is that I am unable to check the box. It is readable, but very faint as in the way computers show things that should be available but aren't for some particular reason. How do I make the box checkable???

I hope that made sense
