  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

RED DSMC button mics?

Hmm, not sure. I guess you'd have to go through the list of things to check - firmware version, audio record enabled, unbalanced, levels set appropriately, etc. Do you see signal in the audio meters when it's plugged in? Are you able to check the mic with another recorder to make sure the mic is working?
 
I will check those things. I'm running the latest beta fw.

How do I roll back? Same thing As upgrading but with an older version?

I don't want to roll on the beta fw on my shoot next week.
 
Jance,

I rolled back to the newest stable firmware (from the 3.3 BETA)...

I have the mic plugged in...it shows a green circle beside CH1 on the screen.
Audio Record Enable is toggled ON...Cam Analog slider is up in the middle so I should see something.

Under Audio Channels...

CH 1/2 is CAM ANALOG, MODE is UNBALANCED, link and limiter are both OFF.

Not getting a signal.


thoughts?
 
Hmm. I'm running 3.2.16 firmware. Could that be it? Otherwise it looks like you're set up like I am. You have Phantom (48v) off too?

I use the same. It works. I use the extension cable and the clip to fit it next to my matte box ...its all in the package for 20bugs...cool

Click to expand...

Are you on 3.2.16?
 
Brandon, are you able to plug the mic into something else (laptop or whatever) and confirm that it's working normally?
 
Hmmm...we may have found a solution...

I plugged it into my Zoom and it sees the tiniest fraction of a noise. I wonder if it's broken :(

Damnit. I could have bought lunch for that money :(

(EDIT)
Yeah, I might have just gotten a dud.

Too bad I wasn't in more of a hurry when I bought it...I bought it in May, and never tried it until recently.

That's really similar to the Olympus that I have (that doesn't work).

I need to order another one. HOpe I don't get a dud.
 
I finally got a chance to test Olympus ME-52W. Works perfectly (for scractch audio) on 3.3.3 beta... Happy :)
