Hi.
I've been using a MAC with Logic Platinum for years and a friend was off-loading a B16 Fostex 1/2 inch 16 track machine which he hasn't used but recently aquired.
I did a swap on some gear and thought it would be great to use analog tape to record my band.
Can anyone help me please?
I recorded three tracks on one song today, a stereo pair of drum machine and one guitar part. All seemed fine. Well, many LEDs are not working on the in[ut level monitoring of certain tracks. ( A sign of heavy useage?)
I was about to record a guitar overdub (4th track now) when I hit record and the machine is running really really slow on record and play. (Like several times slower, 20 octaves down type stuff, not slight..total melt down slow) It seems OK on FF and RWND.
I have been hitting all the buttons as much as I can and can't get it to go any other speed but incredibly slow.
Is the machine boogered?
Or has it gone into edit mode and how do you get it out of edit mode?
I hit the stop button in any way I can think of, once, twice etc....it still plays slow. I switched the machine off, disconned the mains totally etc....
any help for a novice B16 user will be huuugely appreciated.
Are there any clues on the red display window?
Many thanks
