Trying to record voice over in FCPX but the input volume slider can not be moved, the output slider works. I know my sttings are ok because i can record in soundtrack pro, logic and garage band. Recording voice over with FCP 6 on my MAC Pro works fine but not on my new IMac 27 running FCP X. Any body had simular problems ?

That does not mean that you can't record, it just means, AFAICT, that you can't adjust the gain on the input microphone. My slider does not move either, but I have no problem recording audio.
If you are using a USB mic or something that is a digital input, you probably won't have the atenuator for its input. Only analog inputs can take advantage of that gain. Perhaps these will help in some small way.

Hi Luis,
Thanks for your reply, I have tried analog and digital but non let me set the input level in FCP X. No problems in FCP 6 it all works perfect.
Thank You
Hi benb
I am going to try recording to see if recording works as suggested so will test later today and post outcome

I have the same problem after installing moutian Lion, before that time no problem with the gain/volume-level and the Rode dig.mic into the line in.
Yes, there is a certain level of gain but i can't change it...
Itseems to be a very rare problem because i don 't get any suggestion, let alone a solution for 5 weeks now...
Hope anyone will have an idea? Thanks!!
Hi Bruce 27,
I found recording works OK as suggested by Luis even though the slider is set to 0 and will not move, I had to make sure my input level was set using my Presonus firestudio
Apple is turning into a bad apple and not giving us proffesional products

yes I discoverd that you can still audio record with the invisible slider set to zero but before i could set the level higher or lower. The fact is that the input is rather low now.
I must change it now in the OS preferences.
No, Apple has imo a magnifique product with fcpX!; I just worked for a while with the well-knowned progr. (in the Netherl) from Video de Luxe and discovered the enormous advantages of fxpX.
Let's hope appple will repair this soon but in anonther forum (macrumors) were I putted my problem too I got the answer it was the standard now. Why? True?
