Hey guy,s I have been testing out my PMD 661 and to start off I must say that I really do like this device. it is easy to locate and easy to use, not to mention the thing is a brick.
However, when going back and listing in I can't help but here a little bit of noise in the background. Now I know all devices will give some noise no matter what but I am just curious how I can get rid of it. Is it something I can do in post? (Adobe or Adobe After Affects)
Not sure if anyone on here is familiar with the PMD but on the bottom you have the a little knob where can adjust you levels/ gain. Mine has been set at either a little past 4 or to 5 because anything lower then that I can not hear it in my head phones ( MDR 7506) So it seems that I am stuck with that.
I am on Dual Mono mode and am ALso wondering How I can extract the other recorded track that records
-20db less. When I up load it onto my computer I only get one file you would think since it is Dual Mono there would be two separate files.
I am also a little worried, I mean, I can't afford to buy any preamps and because of that I feel I am going to waste theses actors times with this audio if I can't reduce the noise.
My set up is NTG2 inside a blimp with dead cat on it. on a DIY boom pole and straight into my PMD 661. I have read having you mic into a pre amp and then the pre amp plugged into a recorder is recommended but I don't have the funds, is this something to worry about?
Never the less, on a positive note none of my audio clips have been distorting, clipping, none of that. And I wonder why? Would I be able to hear distortion on my head phones when I review the Audio on the recorder? Or can I only hear the Distortion on my computer (which I never hear any)
The only time my levels ever got to the "Red Zone" was a couple of times and that was only up to the 10.
Lots of Noob questions I know and I really do appreciate all the help I get on here from everyone,
