    Hi Jason! Do you know if/how the safety track works if recording direct sound on iPhone video? For example when I extract the video files already synched with the Rode mic source, would those video files show 2 different sound tracks?

    Hi, for loud music you might need to try setting the output gain control to -10dB and then adjust the record volume in the camera to try and get a good level - just be aware that for very loud music it might overload the microphone itself and then it will sound distorted.

    Try this: Right click the video file in media pool and go to Clip Attributes Select the audio tab Change Format to Mono In Source Channel dropdown choose Embedded Channel 1 or Embedded Channel 2 depending on where the safety track is Drag clip to timeline and change audio track type to mono.

The only thing for me is to keep as stereo and select same source for both channel other wise i have audio only in one headphone or I'm doing something totally wrong. I wish there was and filter like in adobe so it's basically normalising audio level and replace channels
