    I just upgraded to the Sennheiser ME 66 and also the wireless that were recommended on this forum. LOVE it. Thanks for the recommendation.

    I am not sure how to eliminate the camera mic.

    I put the wireless XLR into Line 1, and the XLR of the shotgun into Line 2.

    When transferred test footage into FCP, this is the audio:

    Track one, audio from Line 1 (wireless)
    Track two, audio from Line 2 ( Shotgun)
    Tracks 3 and 4 were from the camera.

    I would rather capture both tracks 1 & 2 on the wireless and both tracks 3 & 4 for the shotgun.

    I can only get 1 track per input on the camera? And 2 tracks from the camera mic?

    ( I made sure that the control switch for channel 1 and 2 were NOT on "INTL". )

    HVX has four tracks and two of them must be the internal stereo mic. It can't do what you want - but why would you want to anyway? You have two mono mics and two mono tracks to record them on. Just don't bother transferring tracks 3 & 4 if you don't want the internal mic.

    Sounds like you're recording at LP speed not SP speed ..? If so LP speed is a gimmick started years ago by Sony to get 4 tracks.

    The rest of the bunch followed with LP speed as a keep up with the Jones thing. LP is also low quality all around, it's not good, you'll eventually have trouble with dropouts etc.
    That is .. if you're at LP speed ..?

    Raster - this is 2012! DVCProHD, not DV!

    And even in DV, LP vs SP has nothing to do with 32k/12bit/4 track vs 48k/16bit/2 track...

And it's exactly why I'm done with this one. You two really need to get jobs and out of your mother's basements. You can't fix stupid. And I don't have time for stupid." -swoopie

    Wow, I did not realize that. Ok, as long as I was not doing anything wrong.

    So for stereo, I would just adjust the mono to stereo in FCP?

    Well ... you end up with two mono tracks which you can then mix to stereo if you wish ... yes.
