I couldn’t believe that monitoring via headphones would yield a much different result to what actually recorded. So I hooked my GL2 to a TV. Played back all my test recordings from tape and to my surprize it worked just fine. Mic is good after all, so is the audio port on my GL2. What is wrong with my capture is another story. I’m using an eBay version of pci firewire card, along with “good” drivers, so i can’t expect too much out of that combo. But now that I got it narrowed down, I can take it from here.
Thanks for looking.
