If you’re coming in on FW, what you see is what you recorded on the tape. You can boost it once it’s been captured but that’s a whole new set of issues like signal to noise ratios and background noise removal.
Where are you getting the “tone?”

You may have your deck set improperly to play the signal you recorded on your camera. For instance, if you were shooting with a Canon and trying to capture stereo with their funky on-camera mic at 32k, you have a problem that you can only solve by getting out the manuals for the camera, the deck, and FCP. The DSR will not play that tape properly without some tweaking of menus, I’m pretty sure. Or maybe you were using a camera that can encode audio into the video and grab four channels. That will be a proble since FW will only pass two at a time to Quicktime 6+.

Is it true that audio reference level is at -20 to -18 when recording onto dv-cam? This may be why I think my captured audio is too low.
