Guest Anonymous Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 Hi I just bought a Sharp MT877, I've got it cheap, because it's an old model, and I use it mainly for recording practice sessions with my band. I've noticed that theres a little different in the level between the right and left channel (about 1,5 db or so using Cubase level meters). I tested the mic input with a mono line signal, and the difference were still there, so it can't be the mics. The balance is perfect with the line/optical input. Is this acceptable ?-Or should I bring the MD back to the shop. The recordings are in a very good quality, the stereo image just has a little to much "left". I must admit I first got aware of the problem when I saw the levels on my computer. Is this a common problem with MDs ?

Guest Anonymous Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Sounds odd. I've used my Sharp 722 for years, and never found a balance problem. I'd suggest it might be a prob with your soundcard, although you say that recording digitally into your MD is ok, so I guess it can't be your computer... I guess it's a problem going analog into your MD. I assume that the audio you put into it is balanced in the first place? The best thing to do is try it with other people's MD units, then you'll know if yours is faulty. By the way, I use Cubase 5 myself, although loading in audio I use Wavelab. (The HD doesn't jump that way!) Other than that. that's all I can say! Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
