hi, this is my first post...
I'm new to analog recording. I'm setting up an otari mx5050 1/2" eight track. I just started aligning the machine. however when playing a test tone into the mixer, which is routed to an input on the otari, I'm not getting any signal to tape...?
I have the manual and I've followed the instructions for recording (sounds simple: flip desired channel to 'ready' mode, switch to 'individual', flip desired channel to 'input').
I just can't figure out for the life of me why there isn't any signal going to tape.
I've tried bypassing the console and going direct into the otari... still nothing.
any suggestions? I'm baffled.
