Re: Mono channels 'cancelling' each other out when I record with an external mic

Hi
Youve got an out of phase cable or link in there somewhere, or FCP may have a phase switch (although I doubt it) which is depressed on 1 ch.

Basically, when 1 channel has a positive rise in amplitude, the other channel is negative. When you mono both up, they phase cancel each other out as theyre 180 degrees out of relative phase to eachother.

So
either find your phase inversion and fix it....
or take one channel in fcp only and pan center.

Cheers
