Hey Gang, my first post here.
![TASCAM PIC.jpg TASCAM PIC.jpg](https://homerecording.com/bbs/data/attachments/76/76581-5b97cd645fe837ccbe058bc7ac89b51d.jpg)
Looking for some help understanding my new setup. My problem is fairly simple:
The VU meters on my machine read at about -10 when bumping above 0 on the mixer. I understand both ins and outs on both the tape machine and mixer are -10db. They both have rca connections, and i have simple unbalanced cables between them.
When i play the recordings back, they seem to come out a little bit hotter from the tape machine, however even climbing up to 0 on the machine meters, its maxing out my vu on the mixer. The preamps are at an acceptable level, it seems like the meter bridge is calibrated wrong...
I have made a few recordings and they sound ok, would love to have the meters somewhat matched.
perhaps an adjustment on the machine? anyone have experience with this?
TIA
