Right, I get you. So basically it's because of the disagreement in converting analog voltage to digital. This wikipedia article clarified it for me. I got confused on what the actual issue was because in the prosoundweb discussion people were talking about using gain plugins after tracking to "preve...

Re: Recording Audio for Video...

There's not really a "cheap" way to do SMPTE. I don't think your Mackie has it. The thing about SMPTE is, it's real possible your buddy's camera doesn't have time code either, so it'd do you no good.

Then it was easy to measure what SPL levels at the control position the different positions of the CR listen level trimmer actually mean. The monitor's own trimmers were calibrated separately to produce the s...
