...right. a few weeks ago I was ing about on ma decks and I was recording it at the same time.
Boredom set in and I couldnt be ed anymore, so I stopped the decks and sat and had a fag at ma PC, went to listen to what I had recorded and then i realised ma soundcard on the PC was busted. got a new soundcard now so that bit is sorted.
Now ...on one of my decks the sounds coming down the right channel is well ed up, like really heavy bassline :( bah!
I know its defo something with the inside of the decks, its not the carts, stylus or the mixer - ive checked all that .
Anyone kno why it happened and what is actually wrong?
:nervous: |

Well, I think it has nothing to do with the inside of your TT, unless its a digital TT. So, i think you broke the cartrige. Maybe you hooked the TT up to the wrong wires, and a too strong signal reached your needle. That can destroy the cartrige
INPUT/OUTPUTS
-L-input---->
-R-input---->small microphone <-----NEEDLE produces sound
<-L-output---
<-R-output---
I think you blew the little microphone, try with a new cartrige. |

| Does the sound come out of the mixer OK? Does it sound normal (a) in you headphones and (b) out of your speakers? If a is ok then your stylus/mixer is fine and if b is ok then its a problem with your computer or how it is connected to your computer. I assume you are just connecting stereo cables direct into your soundcard, are they old buggered efforts, anything heavy on top of them? Swap the needles from the deck you think is ed onto the other deck, see if this makes the other deck sound ed. |

nah the decks are hooked up proper (im no that daft :p ) i've switched everything about, carts, got new stylus - even tried my mates headphones - same result, tried using differrent phono inputs on the mixer too.
Te sound that gets to the mixer is already ******ed :( as my other deck is fine when i use all the differrent phono inputs.
Seems to me a fuse might be gone inside the deck :conf: atleast i hope thats all it is.
Any places in glasgow or that good at fixing decks? |

| Just take it back to the shop and use your warranty (note that if you open the deck yourself even just to watch what's wrong, you lose your warranty) |

| Dude, this sounds like the groundwire could have become unhooked. check that before doing anything else. |

| Ask in 23rd Precinct in Glasgow, I'm sure they do equipment repair. Perhaps its the tone-arm internals thats ed, loose connection inside or something! |
