Sound for Video Session: ZOOM F6 Setup & Q&A

Thank you for another excellent video Curtis. I just purchased a Zoom F6 and Rode Wireless Pro set. Do you know how much input delay I should add to my boomed, wired mic to compensate for the Rode Wireless Pro mics?

I wanted to learn about the limiter on the line out. First thing you do is point to the headphone out side and then talk about the line out on the other side. Then you say if you aren't set at the correct level for line out you will clip... What about the limiter for the line out?

Thanks so much! We use it for our production work because we work with a very small crew and it's fantastic.

32 bit reminds of the true definition of what a preamplifier should do. Attenuate your level with a fader. All you need. So true 32 bit is not a panacea. would be cool if someone created a portable O scope that shows various tones the AC waveform shapes to set and be sure you are not clipping. DC belongs no where in your audio. You know just like a parade on your RGB values in video.

What is that little French(?) crab doing back there? Also why doesn't Sound Devices have such a nice app?

Hi Curtis. Thanks for the video. I still have a strange brain-block about trim and rec levels, ie - if the Zooms have a pre-set trim level, then what is the rec level doing? I presumed they were the same thing and thus you could adjust the actual recording level (ignoring the mixer level function for the moment) via the front pots. So trim is adjustable and not set in stone? Thanks again.

Thank you Chris, That was a great refresher stream about the F6. The F6 is an amazing machine, I bought mine after watching your initial review. To the undecided ones, If you don't need all the extra features of the Mix pre there are no reason to spend the extra money. With a good headphone, phone or tablet this is a great system.
