Bamboozled in the UK with Canon XH A1 wedding audio

Peter Dunphy · September 24th, 2008, 07:51 AM

My G2 wireless mics worked a treat. There were radiomics (Sennheiser) already being used in the church but I tuned to different frequencies using the Banks/Channels option on the Menu.

Every so often there was ever so slight 'hiss/spit' but it's hardly noticeable. I'm assuming this may have been due to my wireless mics being located close to the 'in-house' mics people were speaking into.

However, I'd appreciate any suggestions on this:

I had to adjust my incoming audio levels downwards whenever there was loud clapping or laughing so the sound wouldn't distort (I listened through headphones). On the XH A1 is it possible to have an Automatic Volume Limiting System (AVLS) such as I can get on my Minidisc recorder. I notice there is a Mic ATT but I'm not sure of its purpose yet. This is mostly for the benefit of my hearing - I was nearly deafened on a couple of instances!

Overall, I think I did a pretty good job on my first time out. I'll post a link to an excerpt of my filming soon and see what you all think :o)

Hi
I had a wireless lav going into each of my channels on my XHA1.

However, in Final Cut Pro I can't seem to independently edit the sound on each of the tracks without the other track following the same action. I've turned off 'snap' and 'linked selection' but am still getting it. Any suggestions please?

Thanks

Peter

Figured it out - just untick the 'stereo' option under 'Modify'
