I set the levels on the MP3 at 0db for channels 4 and 5 and used the MixPre to adjust the levels.
Thanks alot for the report in. Nice to know that everything works well. I'll need to pick up an XLRF x 2 > stereo mini and then buy the plug-in. You never know when a SBD feed might be available to grab on the fly.
A couple of questions, if you don't mind:
Obviously, on channels 1, 2, and 3 we set levels with the gain knobs, but IIRC you can also pre-set levels in a menu (or maybe that's another recorder...hmmm it's been awhile since I've been out). So when you said you used the mix-pre to adjust levels on Ch 4 and 5, do you mean there's a menu option that allows you to move levels up and down?
Are they individually adjustable for each channel?
Can you gang all of the channels for gang level changing?
Is level setting on Channels 1 and 2 menu selectable in the same menu's as those for Channel 4 and 5?
(Sorry for being lazy and not checking SD's website to answer these questions myself, but they don't give a whole lot of details about the details of the plug-in.)
