So, tonight I tried a couple of new pieces of gear.
Ran:
184's>V3>D8
Specs:
184's > V3 with phantom on
V3 had the ANSR button on
Set to 44.1
HP/LP off
V3>D8 ran coax out of box, 7pin in to D8
Everything looked good, no battery issues, no drops-outs. Listened briefly during the recording, everything sounded great. I got home 30 minutes ago, popped the DAT into the home deck (R500) and the only thing I hear is digi-noise. The band is in the background, but the entire recording sounds like one big digi-fart/static. I have NEVER had this happen.
I ALWAYS check cabling twice, so nothing was loose or tattered.
What the hell happened? and how can it be prevented? Ruined a perfectly good show.
