if you dont have enough battery does it cause the sound to start crackling? because im not sure if it was my battery or something else.

The battery I used was a thing that holds 4 D batteries and the + and - wires were connected to a cable I cut off a 6 volt AC charger.  only cost 4$ to make.

Would a bad batt cable cause the pre to display that it is powered but the recording sounds crackly sometimes or cuts out?
