Ok, here's the thing. Since I've been here (Colorado) this console has had a problem of sounding like it's being overdriven. Plug a mic into my normal chain of EQ to Limiter/Compressor and then into the machine. No matter what I tried it always sounded like it was peaking in my phones, even when plugged directly in while troubleshooting and removing links from the chain. Nothing worked. It was in every channel too, both XLR and 1/4". Frustrating to say the least as I've only gotten a few recordings out of it since purchasing while in Washington. I was thinking that maybe the move out somehow damaged it, but damage in the form of a peaking fuzzy sound? Hmm. Overnight I let the drive completely reformat thinking that a clean slate might work a miracle.
Didn't work.
Right before trashing it I had the bright idea to try a different set of headphones. Wanna guess on whether that helped or not? Sure as fuck sounds like it. i was not aware that somewhere down the line I must have blown my Roland phones. Never heard of that happening.
Have you? Like this was a freaking nightmare and I actually lost sleep over it.
I had it unplugged and was about to walk on down the hall to the trash room just before the headphone coup de grace.
If it would have been a damaged circuit or channel wouldn't that only be on individual damaged inputs and not every single input? It's a sensitive board and does need a lot of input volume to be loud enough before peaking.
Would have been a shame to have trashed it in defeat like that. If you have anything to add
@JUAN please do.
