Re: Changes in sound when recording

2005-02-16 by Fab Claxton

Well, unfortunately, I've determined that's it's the left and right 
audio outs on the XL-7, not the cables I'm using. I've tried 
recording by connecting the headphone jack of the XL-7 to the AW16G 
audio in using a 1/4" cable, and the sound is perfect. There is no 
change in the sound whatsoever. Also, the overall sound is slightly 
clearer. Oh well - time to re-record all of my patterns. Bah 
humbug....
