fostex d80 problem

[tonyhollis48]

What have i done wrong, when recording my band using a fostex d80 i found that the drum track has transfered itself to every other track in the mix. i used an analog mixer and recorded each track separately.The first thing i noticed was i could hear the drums phasing so i isolated every track and found the instrument i had recorded plus a muffled drum track. As soon as i recorded the drums i disconected the mic so it could not have been picking up the monitors. I'm new to all this recording business so i would really appreciate a bit of guidance.

I have a db 80. I enjoy it, but only picked it up 10 days or so ago, due to work I have had very little time to mess with it yet.

When you did this, was the drum track in the 1st slot/track? I had an issue with this last night (didn't realize it until I read your post).

My problem seems to me different tracks masking each other at various times during the songs.

yes the drum track was on the first track, but (how stupid am i) I realised that while i was monitoring the mix ,the recorded tracks were obviously being fed back into the recorder. I havent had the time to test out this theory but i'm hoping thats it. I havent heard of tracks masking each other but I'll keep my ear to the ground for anything. One of my friends is a bit of a whizz with this stuff so if i find out I'll post you a thread
