Olle Sjostrom Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Was it not on? Scarlet and epic sound same to me when on and in idle (not rolling). "LOUD!!" In all fairness it rolled for ten seconds or so and I was quite out of focus, was watching my son simultaneously... But still. Gave me hope!

arovinsky Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I did a shoot in February where I recorded double system, but the editor asked for some kind of scratch track on the Epic so he could sync with PluralEyes. I had a cheap Radio shack lav ready to plug in, when the DIT showed me one he'd been playing with; he'd switched the leads, hoping that reverse polarity would make it work -- it didn't. Noting that the Epic wanted an unbalanced feed, I suggested clipping one of the leads. He did, it worked. Has anybody tried using solder to short the sign and sleeve on a 1/8" plug to work on an Epic ( the way we used to do with headphone jacks)? It would seem to be a better method than cutting wires.

Marc Wielage Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I just finished my first Scarlet shoot today (same audio inputs as Epic), and used the balanced 1/8" inputs for the first time. Even the AC was impressed -- the sound was perfectly acceptable, when we kept levels conservative and killed the limiters. I think the Red limiters are much too aggressive and kick in too early. As long as you limit at the mixer, they should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beatty Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Posted in the other Epic thread, but a new build is out that allows you to control when the limiter kicks in (as well as adding phantom power). EDIT: This is for the Beta 3.2.8 release and not the official 3.0.7 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm impressed that Red is listening to user feedback and making positive changes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
