I have to go with this one.

Sorry, don't hear it. If you really want to hear bad edits, listen to the original stereo mixes of Sgt. Pepper.

It doesn't sound like a bad edit to me. It's more like they muted the echo return at the end of that phrase, either by choice or perhaps to work around some leak they couldn't get rid of any other way. A flawed edit would either jump or lag in time and/or exhibit some kind of noise at the cut...

See what happens if you encase an amp in 1 inch mesh chicken wire. If the sound persists, it isn't RF.

Does the sound change when the amp is turned from one orientation to another?

You will not improve the performance of that machine by adding a signal processor to the signal chain. 15ips gives you better frequency response, less hiss, more headroom, & and less wow & flutter. The "famous" analog head bump is not worth going after, IMHO. Those who wax poetically about...

I'm not convinced that setting your machine up for extreme elevated levels will gain much in the way of performance, especially if you intend to use dbx I NR. Regardless, 3db hotter than 250nWb/meter is as high as I'd attempt. You changed your cards but not your heads and they might not...

I'll take real drums over electronic every time.

The manuals for these units should have install instructions. Don't go in without info unless you are very resourceful if something goes awry.

How big a deal is it to remove the meter bridge from the system to see if the problem is caused by the bridge or is in the console itself?

Does it behave like this on all outputs, including headphones?

Your master fader and/or the insert points for the L/R busses may be dirty. With the board off, burnish the insert points with by plugging a trs connector in & out a few times. Exercise the L/R fader as well to loosen up any crud that may be there. Spraying them with contact cleaner may also...

Check the ribbon connectors from bridge to mixer. Make sure they are seated properly.

It looks like there are some switches on the meter bridge's right side. What do they do?

Yes, and you'll need the control room pot up and your monitor out connected to an amp/speaker set up.

Do you have the L/R monitor switch on?

Put the piano on a platform and isolate it as best you can from the floor.

I agree the OP needs to learn how to use what he already has. I'm fully aware that any interface with a mic input has a built-in mic preamp. Your statement, "a preamp isn't needed," is what I was responding to. Had I seen the term, "outboard," I would not have entered this discussion...

You 1st state a preamp isn't needed but now you say it is. The only mics that don't need preamps are line level units which as far as I know, aren't made anymore.
