I guess I was not clear enough in what I need.
I have moved from multichannel laptop recording using de-correlated
wide spaced microphone arrays to coherent full immersion surround
recording.
The results are wonderful and very direction accurate in a full 360
degree field. But when I setup I need to define reference levels for
each channel that I can see for use in post production. This is
needed to keep the immersion direction accurate.=20
I can not point the mic at the sky, can not use a small radio as the
volume changes as it is turned, and can not carry studio equipment
into the field. I already carry 25 lbs into the field for a 3 hour
record capability at 24/96 or 10 lbs for 16 bit atrac full day
capability. Right now I am just setting levels based on a hold of the
minimum valley gain and maybe that is good enough with a good quantity
of material
I am starting to think that accurate level settings are not done in
the music industry except by ear.
