Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem to mine and able to offer any suggestions. I have a standard V-Custom setup.
When I am playing along with certain CD's, parts of the song playing are not able to be heard. For instance, on some songs, the lead guitar track is at such a low volume, that it can't be heard above the other instruments tracks. It's not a stereo problem as I'm hearing sound through both right and left channels, just that certain instruments are very low. Here is some of the troubleshooting I've done so far:
Plugged my headphones directly into the CD player - The sound is fine, so I know that the problem isn't with the CD player or the headphones.
Switched out the cord going from the CD player to the TD-8 - same problem noted with both cords, so I know that it's not the cord.
Swiched out the 1/8 to 1/4 stereo adapter for the patch cord. same problem noted with both adapters, so I know it's not the adapter.
Just generally jiggled (technical term) all of the connections to see if something just wasn't connecting correctly - doesn't help, so I feel like all of the connections are OK.
I'm thinking that maybe the TD-8 is defective, although I can't seem to figure out what would be defective. Before I try to resolve this with Roland, I thought I would ask the participants of this board.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Greg Curry
