Topic: Weird Dropout

[blu666z]

Never seen this before.  Transfering a show I taped last night.  Everything is perfect until 50:51.  At that point I have what at first I thought was a dropout.  Silence until 50:57.  Then my home deck will stop playing.  I can hit play again and it will have another couple seconds of silence and then the sound comes back and everything is great.  If I rewind while still playing, when it goes from 50:57 back to 50:51 there IS music there.  Do I need to call a preist to get the demons out of my deck?  Bad spot on the tape?

Same problem when playing back on the deck used to record the tape?

[blu666z]

Haven't tried that yet.  Post back in a while.

5 spots of diginoise when played back on the D7.  I'm about to give up on taping.  I can't get through a single night w/o fucking something up.

i know ive been fluffing the jb3 alot, but seriously kevin, i had these problems ALL the time w/ DAT right before i ditched it, dirty heads, digi-noise, dropouts, etc, were all getting old, i say ditch dat, sell it while you can

Is the digi-noise always in the same place when you play back on the D7?  When's the last time both the D7 and playback deck were cleaned?  Heads aligned / serviced?

this sounds like a combo of head allignment and dirty heads

could def be an alignment issue

[blu666z]

Deck has been serviced by ProDig within last 6 months.  It just this one spot.  Would I have a problem throughout if it was alignment?

Getting a clip to post.

Played it back now several times and the noise is always at the same spots best I can tell.

I've got a spot on my Stereophonics tape from Wednesday that sounds almost exactly like that.  It is at the beginning of their first song and I think the music completely overloaded everything.  Happened right before I adjusted my levels.

Had any luck with this yet?

That sounds like digital signal (i.e. cable) going in and out.

You thinking S/PDIF from the UA-5 -> D7?  Interference or do you think something is wring with my cable?  Curious why it never happened again the rest of the show.
