hey all what do you have your pan settings at.... I recorded a show and the for the first band, the levels were extremely low. The levels for the second band were extremely high. There was not a difference in the level of the PA. Thanks...
I have the level of Gain set to low and my pan is : channel 1: left 12, channel 2: Left 12 Channel 3 Left 12 Channel 4 Right 12
I ran Mk4> sax> Tascam xlr
MK21 > tiny box >Tascam xlr
Mine are set the same way and I recorded as two separate stereo tracks that could be mixed later. My first recording came out nice I thought.
Cheese.
I don't have a 70d but I've had a 744 and a 680, so Jon and I have been texting and trying to figure out the menu structure, so I've read through the manual. I'm confused about the pan setting on the input menu, especially with respect to your response above. The manual does a lousy job of explaining it, but unless I'm misunderstanding, the pan setting needs to be correct in order for your channels to be written properly onto your recorded files.
Since Jon said that channel 1 is set to left 12 and channel two is also set to left 12, wouldn't that mean that you are routing the same mic input onto both channels 1 and 2? In other words, I'd think you'd want channel 1 to be assigned left 12 and channel two to be assigned right 12 so that your recording comes out in stereo.
Also, if you're running four mics the way Jon is running them (two separate rigs), wouldn't the routing for channels three and four be left 34 and right 34? If they are left 12 and right 12, then wouldn't you simply be recording the same pair of mics on channels 3 and 4 as you're recording onto channels 1 and 2?
Unless I am misunderstanding the pan function on the inputs, if left 12 is selected on 3 out of the four channels as you've stated above, it seems to me that you're recording only one out of the four mics onto three separate recorded channels.
Finally, for the type of recording we all do (two mic stereo recording) I can't figure out when or why anyone would ever choose 'center' on the pan menu.
