4 channel audio capture in Premiere CS4 at DVinfo.net

XLH1 - I recorded audio with 4CH. How do i capture all 4 Channels in Premiere CS4. It will seem to only allow me to capture 2 Channels. What's the trick here? I did a search about this as it seems it would be a common problem; but nothings showing up...

Tyson, there's no way you can capture more than 2 channels through firewire, you have to recapture channel 3 and 4 in another pass AFAIK
There's however some add-on programs which do 4 channels like Scenanalyzer, but you have to do it "outside" Premiere CS4

Just a note::

Scenealyzer works and I have used it for quite sometime. However; The driver from scenalyzer interfers with my adobe drivers!!! That then makes direct capture with adobe products problematic for me!! I always captured with scenalyzer.

It is not an expensive program.

Perhaps someone else knows a quick fix but I do not..

It does work brilliantly for multi channels.

OK, so Scenalizer is the only program in existence to capture Channel 3 and 4? Come on theres got to be another way????
