hey all,

i'm trying to dub some music from a mixer into the camera, but can't seem to figure it out. i adjusted all the settings per the manuals instructions, but no luck.

how can i record a song from the mixer into the camera?

also, is there anyway to plug the mixer directly into the computer to record my track?

thanks

sb
 
Re: How to do an audio dub

There are two things you could be talking about when you say "audio dub" -- either the actual audio dub mode, where you add a second pair of audio tracks to existing video & audio footage, or you could be just trying to record audio onto the DVX.

I'm assuming you're talking about the second scenario, right? Just recording audio?

The XLR connectors only work in camera mode. So if you want to plug the mixer directly into the camera through the XLR connectors, put it in camera mode, make sure your line/mic switches match the mixer's output, make sure each channel is set to the right switch inside the LCD panel, and record in camera mode and it should work fine.

If you're trying to do it in VCR mode, you have to use the RCA input connectors (red & white). But you cannot record unless the DVX VCR also sees a video signal, so you'll have to supply some sort of video signal on either the yellow RCA or the S-video port.

Really? What a bummer.

If you dub it with a second two channels of 12 bit audio (audio dub function) I assume this would not apply?
 
Re: How to do an audio dub

Right, LP mode prevents audio dubbing. You can only dub in the second two tracks if you recorded in SP mode/12-bit in the first place. If you recorded in LP, or you recorded in SP mode/16-bit, then audio dubbing in the additional two tracks is simply not possible.

And no, you don't have to have a video signal if you're performing the 12-bit audio tracks 3&4 overdub.
