hi paul: the cut-off point is at around the 1:09 mark. is that what you're looking at? when i look at it all i see is flat line until the end of this particular recording.
nope, agc was never on.
i'm not *exactly* sure that the level read zero but certainly if it'd read 1 i would have gotten something recorded, instead of nothing.
btw / wouldn't it make a kind of sense to have the lowest possible level input setting be 1 instead of zero? baring that, what i'd really like to see is an internal menu option that'd allow me to specify a lowest level input setting, which would hopefully keep this kind of thing from happening. otoh, if it is a malfunction, all bets are off.
i'm going to email the pix to roland and see what they say, if anything.
