Fellow members,
I have a problem with the playback mode (Tascam SR-8 1/2" tape). Here it is:
1. Place each track in record mode and levels are fine. (before and after play mode is activated).
2. When I rewind and go back to listen, the meters are 1/5 level and audio volume is low.
3. When placing an old tape on reel (with previously recorded material), and listening to that; the levels play fine and audio is crisp.
Does this sound like a major issue with the machine, or could I be lucky and just have old tape that I'm working with when recording new material?
Obviously, I'm not an expert on this machine, but I do know that repair from Tascam is pricey and I'm not sure the cost "for repair" is greater than worth!
I tried contacting Tascam, but all they could reply was send the machine in for repair (it was kind of a generic response!)
any suggestions would be deeply appreciated
Sincerely.
Steve
