Thanks for all the info…as far as our levels go, we are seeking a vu meter that will enable us to match up all 4 of our editors so we can have a uniform audio output. Do you have any suggestions about where we can find such a vu meter? We have been using -20db as a “standard” when we tape and sometimes when we capture via firewire directly from our XD player or cam, the levels are too low. We have tried raising the audio level using the audio mixer in FCP and must rais them all the way up for the audio to be acceptable. Is this common? It seems unusual that we should have to raise the audio into the red, just to get a good level.

Thanks for the info…I was wondering if there was a way to control the audio level going into FCP…during the capture…without a mixer…
