Apple Final Cut Pro 5 - Manual (Page 1693)

342 Part IV Settings and Preferences
Audio Outputs Tab
The settings in this tab allow you to define the number of audio output channels
available for your sequence, using whatever video or audio interface is connected to
your computer.
New sequences are created with the audio output preset chosen in the User
Preferences window. Once a sequence is created, you can choose a different audio
output preset by selecting the sequence, choosing Sequence > Settings, then click in
the Audio Outputs tab.
By default, a stereo preset is selected, which works with the built-in audio output in
your computer, as well as with most DV camcorders and third-party video capture
interfaces. If you have a more sophisticated audio interface chosen in the A/V Devices
tab of the Audio/Video Settings window, you can create a new preset to route audio to
these additional audio output channels. For more information on choosing an external
audio interface in the Audio/Video Settings window, see Volume III, Chapter 4, “Audio
Levels, Meters, and Output Channels.”
