fader problem

[lincoman]

I have a Tascam Porta 07 ministudio and track 4 is giving me problems. I always keep the machine covered so I don't think it's dust. On this track everything is distant. I noticed recently when I went to bounce. Can anyone help me with this or does anyone know Tascam's trouble shooting hotline. They don't have a 1(800) number or a website. Thanks!

does the problem arise when you try to bounce to track four, or when you record something onto four via the 1/4" input, or both?

Very simple and basic..have you cleaned and demagnetized your heads lately?

If so it may be head mis-alignment.
Try playing back a tape that was recorded before the problem surfaced. Is it louder?
or if it's softer it just might be alignment.

Time to have it serviced unles your wild and crazy like me! Try it yourself!
