Hey guys,
I am having some issues in some corporate work i've been doing lately. Quick disclaimer: not an audio expert, but lately i have been in the sitation where i would be responsible for audio as well. I have searched for these specific questions, but they might be too dumb to ever have been debated, haha. I have a shoot coming tomorrow, and i figured I would ask for some guidance:
1. For tomorrow i should be ok since its a sit down interview, but, i have been in the situation (loud performance, etc), where the levels are just too high on camera, and since I cannot lower the gain any lower than 15 db, the sound breaks here and there. Im talking in a situation where for instance an EX1 or HVX would def be fine, but the Scarlet seems to not go low enough?
2. My main concern: I use the Atomos samurai for these gigs (i have been doing more lately). Well, the levels on the display on the samurai tell me i am actually peeking, super high. So i pull them down from camera (im feeding sound to Atomos through SDI, going into ABOX on the scarlet), they still look too hight for comfort, and when i review the footage.. they are actually super low! Anyone has encountered this?
Any tips for my shoot tomorrow would be greatly appreciated!
