The grownups wouldn't think of recording voices without the 100Hz High Pass Filter. Variations include 80, 100, 120. The sound gets tighter and more restrictive as you go up.

Don't confuse the thunderous, rock-crushing maximum possible volume with the volume you're most likely to use day after day. "normal" volumes pop along nicely at -10 or so and the only spec you need to worry about is if both units can handle that, and I think we're covered. Do you have the...

Is the speed the same? Does the duration of the show match? I'm betting not. A common problem is to have the show pitch go up when the computer can't go fast enough to record the sound well. It drops pieces here and there and when you play back the show, the missing pieces can appear as a speeded up...
