Hi everyone,
I have a Dp-008 and have a few problems with it.
The first is it has extreme self noise. I plug in headphones and the unti itself is plugged into its power supply. I turn on a track and there is extreme air noise. I record the track and the same noise shows up in the recording. I don't recall it being this noisy in the past.
I'm using a shure pg81 (cardoid) to record my acoustic guitar and it has a bit of its own noise level which is why I back tracking to dp-008 itself.
The other problem is that the line levels are extremely low. I am 3 inches away from the microphone and can barely get a line level (even when recording on high) . I would prefer to record on low. If I record on mid or high the air noise makes the recording useless.
I do have an Art tube mp and that helps but adds to the noise and isn't the sound I want for my acoustic guitar.
Help. Is there something wrong with my tascam or is it 'normal' or ??
Thanks,
C. Lynne
