Hi everybody,
I'm new here, sorry if I don't do things in the right order :/
I'm recording my album on a Tascam 424 MKIII, everything was working perfectly, until last night.
I was recording vocal takes over and over on track number 3, just to get the right performance. And at some point I started hearing weird drop outs or crackings when playing back, only on track number 3. If I record the same vocals with the exact same set up and gear but on a blank part of the same cassette, no issue.
I'm assuming I've recorded too many times over the same track, maybe hit it a little too hot sometimes and now I won't be able to record a clean take on this track?
Do you guys know if you can technically re-record over a track as many times as you want or is there a point where the tape won't take it anymore and the track is, pardon my french, fucked?
I've been doing a lot of takes on other tracks or on this track on other songs and cassettes and this is the first time I'm hearing these weird artefacts or poor quality when playing back.
I'm using a Telefunken m80 dynamic microphone, and recording onto Maxell XL II Type 2 cassette tapes.
Thank you for reading!
Ryder
