Re: unresponsive gain controls on ag-dvc80...why?
Can anyone explain to me how ALC works exactly? It seems like if you set it to auto (in other words ALC is on) that if you touch the level controls it still has an effect. I shot a some live footage with music and dancing then some interviews and the levels were all over the place. Using an ME66 by the way. I am used to using Sony's DSR 500 which when set to auto audio level control actually raises and lowers the levels on the fly and very well in fact. The DVX seems to be getting overridden by the knobs or I don't know what. If when you hit the knobs the ALC is overridden (like a brake when in cruise control) then they sure coudn't be in a worse spot. If anyone can explain to me how to set this thing up where the levels will adjust AUTOMATICALLY on the fly I would suely apprecaite it. If not, then what choices do I have so as to not have my levels all over the place?
Thanks

ALC does nothing in terms of boosting/normalizing your audio. It is a limiter. When your audio peaks into the high reds (actually 3 or 4 or so red bars) it kicks in and starts compressing to keep from distorting. It's sort of a safe guard. Try yelling into your on-board mic with it turned on and off while listening through headphones, you'll quickly see what it's doing.
Manual audio controls are always in full effect whether ALC is on or off.
