Audio question
To all audio geniuses:
I recently recorded an interview on the DVX100. I paid close attention to the levels on the LCD monitor, and they were looking fine. However, it turns out that the wireless lav was feeding really hot into the camera, so it sounds overmodulated (even though the levels were reading fine).
What should I do? Is there a FCP filter that could correct this? Again, it’s not a matter of high levels, it’s an audio quality issue.
Thanks!

I find myself agreeing with Dave except that it is a gain problem not necessarily impedance. The signal is distorted by the input electronics getting a signal too high to cope so it clips. Meters might look fine but you are puting audio to air not a picture of meters.
A pair of headphones costs far less than a reshoot. Go crazy and hire a sound recordist perhaps.

Are you saying that sound guys are crazy? If so, (having done my share of sound mixing) I AGREE 100%!!! They’re wackos!!!
