I recently changed my idler tire because the machine was starting to chew up tape. After that, the recorded sound was very distorted with no transients and the volume was drifting from quiet to loud. I demagnetized the heads and cleaned them with alcohol wipes. I think it got a bit better but it's still drifting quiet to loud. I bypassed the dbx board. Still the same issue. I don't know what to do now, any ideas? The previous recordings still sound fine on playback, it's the new recorded audio that sounds bad.
