5 To specify other voiceover settings, click the Advanced disclosure triangle and do any of the
following:
•
To change the input device or the number of input channels (mono or stereo): Choose an option
from the Input pop-up menu. The default choice of System Setting uses the rst channel of
the input device currently selected in OS X Sound preferences.
Tip: If you always want to record with a particular device or a particular channel on a
multichannel audio device, choose that device/channel pair from the Input pop-up menu
instead of System Setting. Final Cut Pro remembers the setting and indicates in the Input
pop-up menu whether the device is available.
•
To listen to your microphone input as you record: Set Monitor to On. The microphone audio plays
from the output device currently selected in OS X Sound preferences. There is no input signal
when monitoring is o.
Tip: To listen to a live mix of both microphone and project audio, set Monitor to On and
deselect the “Mute project while recording” checkbox below.
•
To adjust the monitoring level: Drag the Gain slider right to increase the monitoring level, or left
to decrease it (or type a dB value in the Gain eld).
Note: If the built-in microphone is selected, the Gain slider automatically resets to zero to
prevent feedback from the built-in speakers when monitoring is turned on. To avoid feedback,
use headphones or external speakers placed away from the microphone.
•
To turn o the automatic countdown before recording: Deselect the “Countdown to record”
checkbox.
•
To unmute project audio while recording: Deselect the “Mute project while recording” checkbox.
•
To turn o automatic grouping of multiple voiceover takes into auditions: Deselect the “Create
Audition from takes” checkbox.
•
To change where the recording is saved: Choose an event in the current library from the Event
pop-up menu.
6 To start recording, click the Record button (or press Option-Shift-A).
7 To stop recording, click the Record button (or press the Space bar or Option-Shift-A).
Your audio recordings are attached to the primary storyline at the playhead position.
