Survey: microphones for wildlife.

[Per Johan Naesje]

Dale,
this is the problems with most NLE's. They are able to capture only 2 channels in one pass.
The solution is to do a second capture with channels 3&4 only or as you do, using Sceneanalyzer.

I used the camera mic on 1&2 and a wireles on 3&4. then found out 1.5 doesn't take 3 or 4 channel audio. Purchased scenalyzer, but would rahter work straight in 1.5 on 1 and 2, can you do that with two shotguns??

Switch 'Audio 1' from 'Front' to 'Rear'. Then you can use the Shotguns on channels 1 & 2. It means that you don't get anything from the camera mic, but the advantages are that you'll get 16bit sound and you'll be able to capture directly.
