Hey all!
First off, I haven't been coming around for a couple years and it's good to be back. Glad to see some familiar names still posting and helping people (shout out to Sweetbeats, famous beagle, cjacek)
So, to my problem... For the last year or so I have been working around an issue with my 246. The VU meter on channel one dies. I do a lot of transfers of sessions from the 246 to my DAW and I'll hit play and see all the tracks receiving signal in the DAW and their corresponding meters jumping, except for track 01. If I rewind to the very beginning (really from anywhere but I go to the beginning as to not accidentally record over anything), arm track one, and then very quickly hit REC/PLAY, the meter springs to life and then works correctly for a bit before dying again. So it's not completely broken but doesn't work like it should. It's especially annoying when I'm recording using channel one and can't see my levels.
I cannot figure out why arming the track and recording for a split second would make the meter work again but if anyone has any clue I would happily listen. Guesses welcome
