Using Digi 002 rack with FCP

Does anyone have experience with using a Pro Tools Digi 002 rack with Final Cut? I'm having some trouble making it work. I just want to be able to use during editing for audio output. The 002 shows up as viable device in audio/video setup, however, FCP claims it only has one output, instead of the 8 it has. Really, at this point in time I'd be happy with 2 channels recognized, but I certainly would like to stay away from mono. Any ideas?

I think your best bet is to contact DigiDesign. I have run several searches on the FCP forums and SoundTrackPro forums for you. Nothing came up that indicates the device you are using works with FCP but I didn't read 'em all.

How do I configure Soundtrack Pro2 to play audio using Digidesign 002 Rack?

How do I configure Soundtrack Pro2 to play audio using Digidesign 002 Rack? I have no problem using Logic 8 with the 002 Rack?
Can somebody explain the necessary process to make this work. Thanks

Add is probably not the best choice of terminology.
Going from memory (since I'm at home), you need to launch digiCoreAudio, then select your output in the System prefs as your digi hardware. After that you would see the digi hardware as an output in STP.

Stopping the buzz on my audio tracks for my digi 002 rack

So i've got a digi 002 rack and i've got logic pro 7. I've hooked up my rack to logic and it picks up all the audio tracks. However, as soon as i set it up every track has a crazy buzz that peaks the gain. Can anyone give me any tips of advice?

sounds like there some kinda loop going on... Logic can be a bit touchy... seems I learn something new about it everyday. i still think it's the best one out there. I can't wait to upgrade to vs. 8
I ran Logic 7 on my MBox - there's "something" about that digi and core audio. just guessing - I guess

Using Digital Beta deck with FCP 4

Can one use a digibeta deck with FCP via a firewire? What should the settings be if I want to keep everything uncompressed? Space is not an issue. I ask since I've only used minidv and DVcam.
thanks so much!

You need a capture card (Aurora, AJA, Decklink) and drives capable of uncompressed playback.
The only card that captures and sends the signal thru a firewire cable is the AJA I/O, but the Aurora and Decklink solutions are cheaper. Aurora being my favorite.

Digi 002 Rack or Mackie 1220 FW for use with LP7

Anyone got opinions on which would be a better solution for use with LP7? Sound wise, reliability, converters, etc. It's a little off topic, I know, but couldn't think of anywhere else to ask. Or if anyone else has better solutions in that price range, please chime in.

don't get the digi 002. unless you like unreliable drivers, flakey performance particularly when it comes to trying to run with low latency. not to mention mic pres that are on the bad side of average and pretty ordinary sounding converters.
I don't know anything about the mackie, but I could suggest looking at what RME and metric halo have to offer. very high quality sound and much better stability with core audio.

Digidesign 002 Rack with Logic Studio

Hi,
I have recently bought a macbook pro and am wanting to record at my drum teachers house. He uses an iMac running Pro Tools with the 002 Rack. As i am wanting to record and mix everything in logic, not pro tools, can i use a firewire 800 to 400 cable to connect the 002 Rack to my macbook and then record through that? Or is the 002 Rack not compatible with Logic?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I believe in theory this should work.
You will need to download a driver called "Standalone Digidesign CoreAudio Drivers" for Mac OS X to make the 002 work on your system called. As I understand it this is for folks that have Digi Design hardware but don't have PT installed on there system.
Try this page for the driver that is at the bottom of the page.

I am sure folks that own an 002 and use it without PT can be of more help here than I.
Good luck,
Jay

How to use third party plugin with FCP, I'm lost...

Hello,
I need informations about how to use plugins with FCP.
I do edit mostly classical concerts. I'd like to do basic audio post prod, without swaping between Soundtrack and FCP.
I need two simple things : add reverb (the built in reverb is really bad), and enhancer. So I looked for specialised third party audio plugins, but I couldn't manage to find something that work for me...
- Do FCP support VST plugins ? How to install them ?
- I tried a few audio units plugins. It works, but I couldn't get a friendly visual interface, like VST effects racks. Is it possible in FCP ?
- does anybody know a good reverb plugin with a friendly interface compatible with FCP ?
Please help, I'm lost !
Emmanuel

What you NEED is a better recordist at the concert, someone who understands the peculiarities of your specific video deliver plans.
Soundtrack Pro is right up there with Motion in its impossible-to-understand interface paradigm shift away from industry standard tools. However, if you are in the position of being a sound editor, you must find a tool that works for you. STP might not be the one, certainly isn't for me. You could always try Logic. Yeah, good luck with THAT.

Will surround sound run on core audio+ Digi 002 rack ?

I have used logic express on my set up but want to buy Logic studio for the surround sound capabilities. I heard from a friend that Logic 8 needs a pro-tools HD TDM to run the surround stuff. The 002 rack (firewire) i use in logic goes through core audio but will this be ok or do i need the HD???
Macbookpro - logic - 002 rack (core audio) - 6 outs??.

There is quite a bit of documentation with compatibility issues with the MBox2 and 002 systems and the G4, especially for some reason the aluminum case G4s. I've not read from those with these configurations which are working, but I have had no luck with this and many posts on the net say the same thing. Seems the USB ports are not sufficiently powered to handle the load, mostly with many tracks and specifically with using phantom power for condenser mics. Go online and type in MBox2 + G4 and you'll get some info on Google hits. As I understand it, the two are basically the same save 2 vs 4 mics imputs and the like.

Selecting between ADAT and S/PDIF using DIGI 002

Been using the optical input on my DIGI 002 for 8 ch ADAT. When connecting a CD player (S/PDIF) how do I tell Logic8 or DIGI002 to switch to stereo S/PDIF? Can't find a Digi002 Hardware Setup.
I don't have Pro-Tools installed because my version (6.2.2) is to old for 10.4 (right?).
What to do????

Thanks for the reply! I made a mistake. My CD player is not using the phono S/PDIF but the optical in that I normally user with my AKAI DR16 ADAT optical interface.

Using Digi 003 interface with Logic Studio or Pro

I currently have a modified (Black Lion Audio) Digi 003 Rack interface that I use with Pro Tools, but would like to get Logic Studio (or Pro). I have heard 50% say that the Digi 003R or Mixer won't work (properly) with Logic and I have heard another 50% say that it works fine. Can somebody please end this debate once and for all, so I can make the big $500-$1000 decision. I'm really itching to get Logic so I can use all of its great features. I would like to hear that it works fine, but if not, I'd rather know the facts before wasting my money. Thank you to anybody who can put this question to rest.

Lets clear up some things - Logic Studio comes with Logic Pro. . . so that's $500. Logic Pro 7 is old and you don't need it anymore, it WAS $1000. So, no need to spend a grand on Logic.
Next, 003R works absolutely fine as an interface with Logic. The mixer won't work as a control surface (although it will work fine as an interface) because Digi's control surface stuff is proprietary and isn't made to work with Logic.
So, to sum up - Logic Studio is Logic Pro 8 and a ton of other apps and its only $500.
003 Rack works fine with Logic.

How do I use purchaed iTunes music with FCP???!!!

Is it really true that you cannot use purchased music from iTunes with FCP? There HAS to be a way. I promise I will not sell my video. REALLY TRULY!!!

The terms of use for the iTunes tracks is not for professional use, so if you want to use a song, make your movie in iMovie which will allow you to use the tracks.

How To Use Director's Cut with FCP

How do I use Director's Cut with Final Cut Pro? I know it'll work, but I just don't know how. I connect it and FCP says VTR connected, but then when I try to capture it it says to make sure device is in VTR mode.
-Angela

Think you'll have to choose non-controllable device in fcp menu>AV Settings>Device Contol Preset tab.

Using the Canon FS11 with FCP

Hi everyone
I'm helping someone who is using the FS11 camera (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...&modelid=16183), which records in MPEG2 .mod files.
Not much info online, and it doesn't seem to be compatible with FCP Log and Transfer, and its also USB. (although strangely enough the camera can be purchased through Apple sites in come countries).
We've been using MPEG streamclip to convert the files to Quicktime at the moment. But it's rather labour intensive, and I'm not convinced that MPEG SteamClip is doing the best compression.
Any thoughts on this? Has anyone created a workflow for this camera? Once I figure it out I might post one as it seems quite a few people are using it.
Thanks community!

I had to look up what an XM1 is and found out it is a PAL GL-1. I have the GL-1 (NTSC) and have never had a problem loading it into iMovie.

Anyone tried using a QText file with FCP?

I was just wondering if there is some way to utilize a QText file for captioning with FCP, either directly of by importing it into QTPro, then exporting it in a form that FCP understands? The idea is to use these as timed text overlays.

QText is a bit more, at least to my limited understanding. Let's say you have a QText file with 10 lines of text you want to display. In the header you can specify color, size, etc. Before each line of text you enter a time code which represents the start time for displaying that line. For example:
[00:00:00]
This is my first line and displays for 4 seconds
[00:00:04]
This line is displayed 4 seconds after the first, and displays for 6 seconds
[00:00:10]
and this line is 6 seconds after the one above (i.e. 10 seconds in).
and so on. One way to look at it, each line of text becomes a slide which displays until the next line is called.
When fed to QTime, you get a very nice vector graphics display of each line at the specified time. It would be great if I could export that as a video file which I then could use in an overlay track in FCP. QTPro offers several export options including such as MP4, m4v, etc. Dragging these files into FCP either generates a Codec error when rendered or isn't recognized at all. I guess I could use a video screen capture program and capture the QTP display, but that seems like a crude and slow process. I had hoped, since FCP and QTP are both Apple products they would have found some way to integrate them. No mention of QText in the FCP help file, so it would appear no such luck.
