Thank you both for your help. Hopefully you are each correct! I ran the XLR out of the mixer to the camcorder using the mic input instead of the line. I did this because when I used the line I barely got any feed. However, I have now been told that I should use the line input (on the camcorder) and crank up the mixer as needed. In other words, in doing my test at home, my mixer is peaking in the red often but the feed the camcorder is getting seems (and monitors) OK. Of course it monitored OK before as well it was just when the room dynamics changed to a louder DB. I was heistant to have the mixer peaking so often in the red but hopefully this solves everything. Will find out in 2 weeks at the next recital.

Thanks again,
Mike
