Hi,
Recently I noticed 4 channels on my mixer were showing signal activity, even though I wasn't playing any audio. When I brought up the faders, it was a humming sound, probably around -20dB or so.
I isolated it to the HD24 - which wasn't even turned on at this point. I tried to turn it on, it wouldn't. Pulled out both drives, and it powered up. After trial and error I determined it was one of the drives that was stopping it from powering up - in otherwords, drive failure.
However, I notice when I'd power it up, it would sort of power up twice, and then initialize disc, and everything was ok.
I did a reset, by holding play / record on power up from mains - that seemed to correct that problem.
The problem now, is although I can play back existing audio on tracks 9 and on, I don't get any input to them... they do arm. I can record and playback on 1 - 8 though.
Yes it is a 24 track project, did I change some setting by resetting the HD24? I've had it for 7 years with Zero problems.
Is it toast, time to buy another before they're discontinued?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
