Pre-recording vs Post-recording noise - I'm hearing things

delucaj

I've perused some of this forum and have yet to find someone with a similiar problem...I'll continue searching untill then...here's my problem,

I'll use a guitar preset that's crunchy.
Say 'BlueBall' to record an idea.
While recording, tone sounds wonderfull.
When I play it back preset's tone is lost. The crunchy raunch sounds different. The main preset sound is there but the signal sounds noisy. Like 'Randy' on crack.
Like a fuzzy digital noise on the tail end of signal ??!!**??
The preset loses it's warmth.

You know that sounds one gets if they not using 'Spkr. Comp.' when they should be...it's much like that.

This phenomena occurs with all distortion presets.

When I use clean presets 'JC- Jazz'...pre and post recording sounds the same.

I'm looking forward to having my raunchy presets sounding exactly the same as they do prior to recording.

Any thoughts on this...

Try engagin the Speaker compensation switch on the XLR side. It controls the setting for recording as well.

Are you using the 1/4\" jacks with speaker compensation on?

Otherwise check your levels on Pro-Tracks and make sure it's not clipping.

AlbertA, I will respect your suggestions and will apply them.

I'm using 1/4 with spk comp., yes.

I've checked my levels, they're not clipping.

Have not used xlr inputs yet and therefore did use spk comp., I'll try that, good thanks. Wow, effect recording? Cool.

I will try these variations and see what I get.

Good Skill

Problem solved. What I hear is What I get!

What did I do?

I used Crazy Glue and smothered the 1/4\" & XLR Spk Comp. switches to ON position!

Yeah! Great!

I'm a happy camper.

AlbertA, is there anything I can do for you?

I think the proper grammar would be, \"Let's we listen.\"

You are right with an added YeewHawww!

Actually dudes...I think its \"let us listen\"

and as soon as I re-record my tunes, given the crazy glue fix, I'll fire some mp3s over...

Thanks again...
