I was just adding a bass track to a song on track 3 of my 38.
I used some very light compression and went direct from my M2600 board to the 38. Recording levels were good, extending occasionally into +1 or +2 VU. Using RMGI SM911 tape. While monitoring from the sync head during recording, everything was crystal clear.
Upon playback however, I noticed that while still clear and punchy, there were some strange artifacts on almost every note played, almost like a speaker rumbling or small tear in a speaker. Impossible of course since I went direct and the monitor sound was perfect. Its a small annoyance and can't really be heard when sitting in the mix.
Still, I re-recorded the track on track 4 and again on track 6. Same thing. What is odd is that all the other tracks like guitar and acoustic guitar sound great, just this bass track has the artifacts.
I don't recall anything being off on any low frequency tests when I calibrated the machine a couple months ago, so I'm not sure it's a calibration issue.
It's not a major issue but was wondering if anyone has run across this or has other suggestions of things to try differently?
