I'm pretty new to home recording, although I've been interested in it for a long time. Anyway, I recently bought my first 4-track, the 424 MK3, and for the most part, I am very happy with it. But I've started to realize how noisy the rhythm guitar tracks are. The bass can be noisy too, but most of it comes when i record rhythm guitar tracks. My channel fader and master faders are both in the shaded area, and my meters are peaking at about -3 (I don't know exactly where the meters should be peaking, so that info would be helpful too). I'm using only TDK SA60 high bias tape and i'm recording with an SM-57 micing my amp. Is this noise just tape hiss, or somthing more. I appreciate any responses.
