Rerouting quicktime Movie Audio within Logic

[esteban ferguson]

Hi There,

 

Im trying to route the audio from a movie within logic to different outputs (in my case, out 3-4 using a symphony 64 card). I read that the movies output is determined by the system out put (which in my case is specified as symphony 64 output 1-32 in system preferences).

 

Is there any way around this? i need my movies audio output to send to 3-4 so i can have control over panning, level and eq while composing to picture (dialog panned hard left, temp panned hard right from the studio).

 

Trying to make the switch from 32 bit to 64 bit and leaving the Canopus firewire video output (which normally handles sound) is proving to be a real pain. Anyone else made this transition or have any other ideas?

 

Thanks!

You can't choose out 3-4 in your system preferences?

In System Preferences my two options for the symphony 64 out puts are labeled

"Symphony64: PCI Card 1, Port 1 (Chs 1-32)"

and

"Symphony 64: PCI Card 1, Port 1-2 (Chs 1-64)"

 

Should i have all available outputs for the symphony 64 available there?

Not necessarily, depending on the driver. Looks like the Symphony driver doesn't give you direct access to specific outputs.

 

I guess a workaround would be to use 1-2 for the movie's sound, and 3-4 for Logic. Not ideal, obviously, but I suppose it would work.

Thanks for the help, I'll try it out and see how annoyed I get, hehe. Good suggestion!

Let us know if that works for you!
