Admit it: How often have you used on-camera audio for the final edit?

Good information Brian... curious to know if RAVEN and Scarlet W use the same sound boards as the WEAPON. (Just thinking that since they came later, they may have made improvements.)

I don't know for sure, but I am guessing it is something that can be addressed in firmware.

That would be the ideal solution.

So my take-away is I trust the levels on Epic, don't trust the levels on Weapon at all. I don't think I will ever record another session without a dual system. Back-up is the way to go. I wish I had a better report, because I love this camera.

I agree 100% with Brian -- very hard to argue with this advice. I think Zaxcom, Lectrosonics, Sound Devices, Nagra, and Sonosax are all very good, realiable companies.
