Hello,
I am in the process of calibrating my Otari MTr 90 mkiii with ATR tape +6.
Ive done the procedure via Chris Maras tape cal APP and I have this issue:
I am in input monitor on the tape machine and I see two signals on two line inputs on my console. 1 - a synth 2- kick drum.
the synth is hitting 0 on the Led channel meter and the kick is hitting +1, 0, -3 on the Led channel meter.
I look over to my tape machine on input mode and noticed that the VU meter on the synth is hitting 0vu to -3 and the kick drum is hitting -6,-7.
Why is it when I look at the kick drum on my channel LED it’s hitting +1,0,-3 and then when I look at the tape machine VU it’s actually -6,-3?
I have plugged in protools signal generator to hit the “test input” Jack on the otari which sends that tone generator to all the channels. On the VUs 1-24 they all = 0vu when I send 1k, 10k.
I don’t have proper test equipment. I used protools tone generator. I am starting to think I should buy a minirator physical tone generator ($400) because I just want to do this the right way.
Any guidance is appreciated.
