I haven't been able to find a thread specifically devoted to this topic. Has anybody gotten to the bottom of this?
This is the only thread I've seen hitting on this subject (
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=49528.0 ) but I haven't found a suitable answer. Maybe all I need is a physics refresher course.
Anyway, here's where I stand...
I just made my first 4 channel recordings (2 sets of AUD mics) with my 744t, firmware 1.60. 4 mono files.
Source 01 - Neumann u89i>EAA-PSP2>744t (analog into channels 1+2)
Source 02 - Schoeps mk41>KC-5>CMC6>V3>digi-in>Tascam HD-P2>744t (digital into channels 3+4)
Now I realize this is a bit of a different situation from the above thread started by wboswell (2 very different brands of mics and the Tascam), but the sources synch up identically, except that they are out of phase.
This raises a few questions...
-Which source is out of phase? Theoretically, the Tascam and 744t should only be recording a digital source. If this is correct, does this mean that every 2 channel recording (into channels 1+2) made by a 744t is out of phase?
-Could the V3 have inverted phasing issues like the AD2K+?
-Could synching the Word Clock of the 744t to the Word Clock of the V3 help?
Maybe some of the brillant minds here can explain the whole multitrack phasing thing....
