Mini Disc recording

Fertnig (Competent) posted this on Tuesday, 1st February 2005, 21:34

Help please. I use a mini disc recorder to record interviews and speeches etc. All was well until recently the recording comes out very low and muffled. I`ve tried a friends mini disc and the same happens. I EVEN BOUGHT A NEW CLIP ON \microphone and its the same low response. What am I doing wrong. Can anyone help me to solve this problem.. Thanks .

Hi

Have you checked the battery in the pre amp ?Does the machines record ok from the line in sockets?If not use a head cleaner.

bye

You don`t say what model of recorder you have. Some have a Mic sensitivity switch. Or the Mic input may now be faulty.

Despite what blodwin said, a head cleaner isn`t going to help.

Good luck.
