Terrible sound Main Mix Export and Track 11&12 on SD Card

[Peyugo]

Hi, I have a question: When I record a song on my Tascam Model 12, all tracks 1-9 on the SD card sound exactly like the MTR tracks. But 11 and 12 and the Main Mix export sound terrible: thin, without depth, like from an old radio, just horrible. What could be the reason for this, what am I missing? Or is it a defect in the device? I would be very happy if you could help me further

Hello @Peyugo , and welcome to the forum wether you are human or AI
You may have unintentionally activated the Master Section EQ and recorded the Main Mix with an improper equalization curve. Check the manual for reference.

Another cut and run?

Thanks Max for your reply. I have now solved the issue. I used the Normalize function for Main and now I have the perfect sound. I don't know what exactly happened and what was causing the problem before, but at least I know how to solve it

Glad you solved the issue, anyway Normalize doesn't address the problem you described.

@Peyugo, I agree with Max. All that Normilization accomplishes is to raise the audio to the highest peak level present in the recording. It has nothing to do with the issue described: " ...Main Mix export sound terrible: thin, without depth, like from an old radio...".

So something else must be the reason; but glad you're now getting the result you want.
