Hello all,
I've recorded myself and another guitarist playing some jazz duets in order to produce a demo tape. I'm new to the 4-track recording world and I'm obviously doing something wrong...
I've been using a TASCAM 424 MkIII to record the songs and then as a source to mixdown to another deck to create the final version of the tape (what I'll call the "Master")from which I'll make copies. The recordings sound good - at least to my ears.
The problem is that the Master tape I make using the 424 as a source and another deck as the destination sounds pretty bad. The low volume sections are now hard to hear and the high volume sections first jump out and then recede as if a deck was somehow compensating for the change in dynamics. I've tried two destination decks with similar results. Copies of the Master made the same way are unuseable.
I suspect I'm doing something wrong but I'm at a loss to know what it is. I've gone through the TASCAM manual but it hasn't been of much help. What stupid beginner mistake am I making?
Thanks for any help,
Peter
