I am testing a newly bought audio device, the Audioroot Femto. I use it in combination with my BMCC.
Allthough I thought that the way to go was to set the input levels as low as possible (like what I was used with my Canon5d) and then boost the power from the Audioroot. However, when I look on the forum, I see that people tend to set the channel inputs on 85%, which is in contrast with what I just said.
Haven't done a lot of testing so far, but I also had the feeling that 85% does a better job then lower settings.
When I lower the input channels to far (say 15%) I get the feeling that I loose a lot of latitude (I mean that there's a very small difference between audio being too soft, (-24/30DB and the -6DB), it's harder to get it right to -6DB).
I'm kinda new in the audio business, so I would be very happy with some advice
