Re: Audio "clipping" without passing 0db

So, what are we hearing out of the headphones when recording is staged/active? Just the analog stage or the post digital signal? To deal with all of things involved in recording field audio I still stick to some basic rules I have used for years: 1. Know your input signal 2. Begin with all processing off 3. Record and PLAYBACK test audio 4. Make necessary adjustments 5. Record and PLAYBACK test audio 6. Record strong signals 7. Monitor at all times 8. Backup everything 9. On set goal is clean, natural audio as it sounds to the ear 10. All sweetening takes place in post Those are my basic rules of thumb. Anything wrong with that? Out of those 10 things I find one big difference between those of us that started in the analog days and transitioned to digital vs digital era only guys......That is rules 3 and 5. I make hitting record (for video & audio systems) and verifying a good end signal mandatory for guys on my crews. Some of them want to argue at first and say"I can see it here" (on the monitors) or "I can hear it, its fine". I say BS, all your looking at/listening to is a signal, not our product. Hit the damn record buttons! Of course the digital only guys never had to deal with tape and heads. But the digital world is not perfect ether, nor is solid state media. So once again I find myself ranting like an old guy. I am not THAT old. I have just been doing this for a long time ;-) Kind Regards, Steve
