yea The machine has been calibrated and biased for the MDS36 i use. what i noticed is it is doing very well. only complaint is the hiss. im used to machines with noise reduction. im looking into DBX 150 units to clean everything up a bit and really get some serious mixes going off of it and i...

Hello, after rigging up those cables and starting recording i have noticed that channel 1 and 4 on this deck is slightly more hissy than channel 2 and 3 with channel 1 being the most hissy. I am aware this deck was biased for the tape i used and calibrated but since the controls to adjust this...

I was referring to 4 channel 1/4 inch vs 8 channel 1/4 inch to clarify and I definitely will A/B the two speeds. I have faith this will work out great!

Well unfortunately I have to build cables and run a session before I really know. I spent the last week working on a fostex at 15 IPS and it worked very well. Obviously the wider track width would make a huge difference. These are just questions I have that I would like some opinions on. There...

I would like to apologize to sweetbeats for taking up so much time. You and Rob showed excellent patience with me. This is the situation now. The monoprice cable and hosa reverser still don't work. But my XLR to RCA test cable do!!! Red is signal! And the deck is reading it nearly perfectly at...

I will test this when I'm off work

I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT GUYS. I FOUND THIS THREAD AND WHAT HE DISCOVERED INTRIGUED ME. I LOOKED AT MY LAST PICTURE AND SURE ENOUGH MINE IS NOT SET TO LINE https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/otari-mx-5050-bqii-was-working-now-no-input-volume.405585/

Yes monitor select set to input. Yellow to red is faint and it decreases slightly the lower the line knob. I cranked it. Test originally done at 12 o clock. The switches seem to not have effected anything no

Ok. I'm reaching out to my tech as well. I'm missing something here

The switches had no effect on the signal input. Could it possibly be the way the Mackie is wired interfering with the otaris XLRs but not my other RCA equipped decks? The channel access jacks are Tip=output (send to external device), Ring=input (return from external device) And I'm inserting on...

It's still nothing

Yea I switched it but unfortunately I'm still not really getting any real signal to the deck.

TS adapter inserted on first click as usual. Main outs of mixer not defeated like before. Unfortunately still barely any playback.

I tried other channels. The VU meters are not dead the mic Inputs on the front drive them on recording and playback. I followed your instructions with the decks headphone out and with red on yellow I got extremely faint tinny monitoring of the signal through all channels on the deck

Ok so here's what we got. Red wire connected to sleeve. Transparent to yellow. Mixer defeated. Red to yellow and transparent to sleeve signal not defeated. Still no level showing on the VU meters. This is driving me nuts! It doesn't seem to be the adapter on the RCA. That configuration works on...

The line inputs appear to be seated correctly. This is so strange we got the pinout. We tested cables and got the mixer to stop being defeated but still nothing. Let me try with the line Input switch set to factory specs

While testing the cables I remembered when I got this deck channel 4 came unseated and I had to open it to reseat it so I thought I'd take a look inside and see if anything weird happened to the line inputs. I noticed the line input is set to High instead of factory Low. Do you think this might...

So connecting the leads together the mixer is no longer defeated when connected to the deck but I still can't get any signal on the VU meters

The RCA with the adapter is going to the direct out on the Mackie CR1604. I use adapters and RCA snakes for my other decks with this mixer And it works just fine on first click

heres my RCA. The manual has instructions for using single conducter cables with the XLR. Would that be appropriate for this? What connections do i make from here? DO i make refrence to the manual where it says this about single conducter cables? "For unbalanced inputs using single-conductor...
