Hello, I have had my tascam for many years with relatively few issues. Yesterday out of no where channel 6 started recording very quietly. While in "mic" the level and sound were fine but then upon playback the vu showed barely anything and signal and the playback as extremely quiet. So far i have reseated all my boards with no luck. I swapped boards, the problem still persists on channel 6.
I did have brief success when i took out board 6, recorded on track 6 (obviously with no playback results) then put board 6 back in and recorded again, perfect signal. A few minutes later i tried again and were back to quiet track. I have also messed with all the buttons and knobs while recording to see if it is a dirty pot somewhere and nothing. The only thing that showed and sort of results is when i tapped on the actual mixer around track 6 while recording. Each tap would give brief amplified signal.
I have also tapped on the relay of track 6 with a wooden stick while recoding to see if that would signify a bad one. No difference.
Any clue?
