Topic: Weird recording - pretty much zero bass

[Gutbucket]

Recording to a polyphonic WAV instead of writing multiple mono WAVs (or two stereo WAVs) won't matter.

Phase won't matter in isolation (each channel played back on its own, all by itself in isolation) but will if:
1) one channel of the pair has reverse polarity in comparison to the other channel (possible but not likely in this case- stereo imaging will also be all wonky, sound will be phasy).
 or
2) if the two stereo sources are mixed together and one source has inverted polarity with respect to the other.  That's more likely.

Do you hear the lack of low end when listening to the 150 source alone, or only when mixed together with the 461 source?

2) if the two stereo sources are mixed together and one source has inverted polarity with respect to the other.  That's more likely.

If they are mixed and you have this problem, try door #2......that's my bet.  It has happened to me......

Anf if you're using cables you don't normally use, start there.

I DID run some Mic cables O never use that have been in storage for several years. That's The only variable I changed from last outing...they were a pair built for me want back when.

DING!  Check the continuity of those cables with a ohmmeter or continuity tester.  Make sure pin 2 at the input of the cable is connected to pin 2 at the output, and pin 3 to pin 3.  If the connection between these pins are crossed, the cable will invert polarity, but will otherwise work normally.

Will check the cables...I do remember that one did not lock into the mic itself well.  The recording is listenable as all 4 tracks, but the bass goes away when played as separate pairs

Ding ding, as Gut said, check those cables & hopefully that will be your problem.

Thanks for all the input guys...I'm going to bring these into work and look at them with a meter manyana.
