Commercial DVDs have me setting the volume on my TV near the top for comfortable listening, let's say 7.5 on a scale of 10. Normal TV viewing is somewhere between 3 and 4.5. Without making any adjustments to what I'm recording with my Rode Videomic plugged into my Panasonic GS300 I set the TV volume to about 2.5 out of 10, for the same level of comfort.
There is no distortion on my stuff so I don't feel I have to lower the volume during the edit phase but I was wondering if I should all the same adjust it so as to be closer to what I experience on commercial DVDs?
