I had a brand new, self-formatted ADAT tape. I recorded two guide tracks on 7 & 8 for a drummer to play to. these recorded fine and sounded fine when we played them back. So, we set up and started recording drums (tracks 1-6). About a minute in, the levels went through the roof (track by track on 2, 3, and 4) for about 10 seconds, then they came back down and stabilized.
we tried rolling back and re-recording, but the noise happened in the same exact place. So, it would appear to be the tape...but the formatting seems fine and there aren't any visible munchies on the tape.
the adat we're using has about 400 hours on it... is this indicitive of dirty heads? a bad tape? has this happened to anyone else?
i need to try a new tape, but haven't made it to guitar center yet...
thanks for any help
