Well Oleg old buddy, I do a lot of audio post and hear what the audio
from these video cameras sounds like in direct comparison to what
almost any audio recorder records, and the news is that they don't
sound as good to me,
even in 16 bit.  So I do double record with all video cameras all the
time and give the filmmakers a choice, mid fi or hifi.  I have done
lots of jobs, including feature films with the audio from video
cameras big and small.  Sure it's ok.
But the audio from the sound recorder is a lot more ok.

Big ups to SD for clearing the air on this.  Their conclusions were
pretty much what mine were testing 2 Reds w/ a 302--I thought it
sounded like any of the pro video cameras in use right now, which is
fine for a lot of jobs.  For a movie, yeah, double system.  The 302
seemed to talk fine to the Red as is, with no attenuation.  The

if it soundas as the cameras i use right now ( cine alta ) , i dont see why
do you need double sytem to get it to the cinema :-)?
and

looks like you are soft on the faders :-)

metering on the Red is pretty silly, and I wish they would get their
TC gen to output like other pro cameras.  And then there is the small
matter of the fans.....

ohh *** i forgot you are living in the 24 bit zone :-)

I don't know if this is a firmware issue or ? but the RED is supposed
to offer audio recording at 24bit/48K and if you are only getting
16bit then it seems as though they have not fully opened the firmware
for that currently advertised feature.
