Yes, I bought a used Alesis 3630 before I knew about Behringer or RNC, but anyway I tried to record a bass track on my Fostex 8 track last night and had nothing but trouble. First of all the ART tube pre amp is noisy. This is a new unit and each channel has the same amount of hiss so I'm assuming that's just how it is. Then the 3630...there is a clicking sound when I hit the first note of a riff. It seemed like the only setting where it would go away was without any compression. That unit also has hiss. I plugged the bass into the ART and the ART into the Fostex, to begin with. Then I tried any other combination possible. Between the tape hiss, the ART hiss, and the 3630 hiss and clicking, the recording was probably the worst I've ever done. I should add that I'm in the habit of leaving my guitar and bass pickups at full volume. Maybe that has something to do with the clicking? I'm open to any advice and if none is forthcoming I am thinking about throwing everything in the trash or maybe sitting it all in front of my car and...well, you get the picture.
