I've recently started using my old Yamaha MT50 4 Track again and have been loving it. One weird issue has popped up though:
When recording on the 3rd track, the volume is super low and muffled and slightly warbly sounding. And the volume meter for the track shows it's getting plenty of signal.
Here's what I've tried so far in troubleshooting:
- Tried a brand new high-bias tape (still sounds bad)
- Tried recording the exact same thing on track 4 (sounds great there)
- Tried using the 4th track input and bounce directly to 3rd track (still sounds bad)
- Tried cleaning the heads with rubbing alcohol and cotton swap (still sounds bad)
Is there anything else I should try or should I start looking to buy a new 4-track?
