The delay I was experiencing is due to being behind the camera in a small, echo-y room. If you monitor via the AV mode, you get a buzz from the video track. Thanks everybody! Topher Polack

Check your settings to see if there's an audio setting to listen off tape. If there *is such an option, that's very cool to know since that is a more 'pro' kinda thing - to hear what you've actually recorded as opposed to a signal that just goes straight through the camera electronics. That made

Hey Josh...not sure how much help I can be with this as I dont have an HV20. That sure is a really bad whine noise you have going there. Do all HV20's make that same noise when using the onboard mic? That's nasty! I've been pretty lucky that my onboard mic on my cam is actually quite good.

Just from an audio-geek perspective, if you can figure out the pitch of the hum it should be fairly easy to attenuate it using a notch-filter or parametric EQ in FCP. I used to do this all the time with sixty-cycle hum from old analog equipment. JW On Jan 31, 2008 2:16 PM, Irene Duma [EMAIL

Not used the HV20 per se, but used many miniDV palmcorder types back in school days. What you are describing does sound like tape whir/whine. This is the problem with smaller consumer-type cameras, even really good ones like the HV20. So compact the mic is right there next to the tape

The hum being something horrible happening in the camera, camera hum generally is a function of 'proximity effect'. The mic is next to the machine. The mic will pick up that which is closest, best. Proximity. That's why lavs work well - they can get closest to the bodies' resonators for those

Every HV20 seems to have a diffferent level of mechanical noise, but they are all a bit loud. The DM50 does not do well vs. the videomics according to those who have used both. The DM50 is a decidedly consumer product - both the Rode's are designed to bring pro level sound to high-Z
