I cleaned up my patch cables a couple days ago with DeOxit as was recommended here. It seemed to resolve the intermittent issue. I had fine results while I was mixing tracks and playing with plugins.
I decided to dub a demo tape (yes, a cassette, I'm old school). After reacquainting myself with the gozintas and goezoutofs, I finally got a level on the tape deck.
First order of weidness. Didn't matter which deck I used, I was only getting a right side signal. Nothing on the left meter of the deck although the sound was coming through the speakers just fine. I unplugged the left lead in to the tape deck and moved the right lead in to the left in jack. Now I had both meters on the deck going but it was mono. Huh? Plugged back into the right in jack and only the right meter was going. Then I plugged the left lead in back to the left in jack. Now I had the proper stereo signal going to the tape deck. Ooo kay, whatever, at least it's working.
for 1 minute and 50 seconds anyway, when the left side decided it didn't want to work anymore. At that point I said fuck it and shut everything off, unplugged everything and called it a night.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Propositions? Wait, what? What should be my first order of business?
