Alrighty... just finished a project and I'm trying to get it back to tape.

I'm using FCP... and the video is fine. However, there's no audio to be had on the tape ANYWHERE. I'm feeding it straight from the Mac to the 170 via firewire.

Again... video = good. Audio = M.I.A.

I am quite perplexed.

Tips? Suggestions?

A. Play the tape in the video camera to make sure it actually contains sound.
B. I use Premiere, so I am not sure if FCP has a checkbox somewhere which needs to be checked in order to capture audio, too.
