Thanks for the in-depth explanation Jeff. I ran tone and that is what I was getting. I think I have narrowed the problem to the MX02 Mini/Flash Media Encoder Live combo. Somewhere there the audio is getting mismatched.
By the way, if anyone wanted to know Blackmagic said the 1 M/E is balanced +4DB audio via the XLR cable.

The steamer (Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder) already has the volume up as far as it will go. A camcorder (HV20) hooked directly via HDMI works great. It must be sending out a hotter audio signal? As for the ATEM levels, during a event most of the time they are between -40 and -30 dbfs. Only peaks hit -20 dbfs. This seems low to me? When I edit, I mix to have most sound hitting from -20 to d -12 dbfs with extremes hitting -6 or so.

My $1000 miniDV camera will tell me that and more when I play a tape back!

I couldn’t find it either. I’m new to this camera and was hoping I was missing something.

Awesome! Thanks for the detailed info and links. I recieved my audio interface and will start setting up / testing this weekend.

I’ve found the same basic diagram for front and rear speaker locations from the mixer at several websites and books that I’ll use. It’s basically the equalateral triangle with the center in between the front pairs and the rears at a certain angle to the fronts. All speakers are the same distance from the mixer. Since I’m starting with an empty room I wanted to do what I could to make sure the audio setup isn’t compromised by the room and video setup. My goal is get as accurate and flat monitoring enviroment as I can with what I got.

Thanks. Closer works better because then I can move my setup closer to one wall instead of being in the middle of the room. I will also be building some absorption panels. I’m researching different materials now.

Have you heard of problems with USB 2 hardware? The ones I’m looking at are USB 2. Theoretically, it should have better bandwidth than firewire. My setup uses a laptop with only 1 firewire port, so I need to keep that open for the video deck.

OK, problem solved. It turned out to be some kind of conflict with my M-Audio Firewire 410 box. Since it was working before, I don’t know exactly what the issue was, but this is what I did to fix it. It was a DV issue because any project, new or old with a DV setting did not work. I tried combinations of presets and custom settings with no results. However non-DV projects (Cineform) played fine. Both the camera and 410 were plugged into the motherboard firewire ports. I checked all the audio settings in Preferences and the M-Audio settings were gone. In their place were Cineform ASIO drivers. The M-Audio drivers weren’t even listed. So I uninstalled the M-Audio box, installed a seperate firewire PCI card and put the M-Audio into that, and reinstalled the M-Audio box. It still didn’t work. Next I went back into audio Prefrences. Now the M-Audio drivers were listed. I reset everything for M-Audio and all seems well.
Long story short I think something happened from using the two onboard firewire ports together for playback/capture and audio that corrupted the M-Audio drivers. That was causing my video playback isssue.

Yeah, I told him I might run into issues with the mpeg camera before he bought it, but it fit his needs the best. If I can’t find a good way to convert the mpeg than an analoge capture sounds like a good alternative.
