cjwilliams0013 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hey guys, I had a quick question if anyone has had the same issues with the TASCAM DR-70D that I have had. I purchased it to go with my NX1 so I could get better audio quality. I pair it with the Rode NTG4+ and mount it to the top of my camera or a boom pole. I was doing a shoot with the set up last week and my audio files were doing something weird. I would sync the audio up with the video, and it would be fine at the beginning of the clip, but if I scrubbed to the end of the clip the audio was completely out of sync. Does anyone know what would have caused that or if it was a setting I missed? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trafficarte Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Are the sample rates set identical? Looks like a mismatch of the audio sample rate, maybe one at 44.1KHz and the other at 48KHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hughes Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 How do you like that combo? I have a DR-60D with a NTG-2, but am thinking of doing minor upgrade to the setup you have. The main issue I run into is that I really have to crank the gain to get decent levels out of the Rode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjwilliams0013 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 I really like the set up, right now I am shooting in a very easily controlled enviroment so I am not having too many gain issues. Most times when I am shooting I have the Shotgun mic on a boom stand so its close enough to the talent to get good audio. The rig is also not too heave having both attached to the camera as well.

Turboguard Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm thinking about doing the same as Nick. How is the battery drainage on the 70D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjwilliams0013 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 This week has been my first go around with the product, but I did about 4 hours of shooting one day and another hour today and the battery still shows full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hughes Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Ditto, I have the same problem :-/ Not sure what is the best solution to this?Use a battery instead of the internal phantom power- it helps a bit. Otherwise, you just have to deal with it until you get a better setup going. I hear the NTG-3 has plenty of signal, but of course, I'm interested to hear more about the NTG-4+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 AA separate pre amp between the mic and the recorder should help, but no idea which one to go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
