Hello Everyone,
This is a call out for help in diagnosing what may have gone wrong recording a show last night.
My rig is Sony PCM-M10, Church Audio CA-14's, SP-SPSB-10, Sound Professionals six inch interconnect.
My settings were:
Record Level: Manual
Record Mode: 48kHz/24bit
Record Level: 3.5 to 4
Plug In Power: On
Limiter: On
Effect: Off
LCF: On
Microphones: mic in
Fresh batteries in the Sony, checked the battery in the power supply a few weeks ago, it checked fine.
I recorded Ian Anderson performing Thick As A Brick 1 and 2. Besides missing about the first 4-5 minutes of TAAB #1, all of TAAB #1
turned out really well.
I have to gush for a second and say those mikes and that recorder make damn fine stereo audience recordings.
Now the problem, after intermission, at the beginning of TAAB 2, I started recording, all looked well, set the gain
and off we went. Got home, dumped it into iTunes, listened to the raw recording and after intermission, no
right channel whatsoever. Left channel great, nothing on the right. Today I discovered the mini plug at the end
of the mikes was slightly loosened, probably from being moved between case and pockets. I have not checked
the battery in the power supply.
Also, is the Sound Professionals power supply a true two-channel supply or should I upgrade to one of the Church Audio models?
One other thing, for both halves of the show, only the left channel of the PCM-M10 gave a level read out, no
green to red on the right, is this normal when using external microphones?
Sorry for the length of the post and if you have a chance go see Ian Anderson do TAAB, it's great!
Kind regards, Paul
