HHmmmm....... Im a bit bummed re the sound quality I am getting with my trusty old 2300.
before the music starts on any recording, I am getting a sound off the tape similar to wind blowing through an outdoor mic.
once the music starts it stops, or at least it is inaudible. I have good clean heads, demagged, and its brand new tape (unopened for 15 years).
I have a teac AN80 dolby noise reduction and the noise comes with or without it in the chain.
I havent made up my mind if Im going to include the an80 in my recordings as although it definetly cleans hiss, it seems to muddy up the sound a bit. without it I get a bright sound, with it, its like I backed off the high frequencies and added some low end.
but the noise I am getting makes it to difficult to warrant using the 2300 over my 424 or my korgD888. I totally love the reel to reel and I am sad.
