I CAN'T HEAR ONE OR MORE INPUT
CHANNELS AT THE MIX OUTPUT, EVEN
THOUGH THE FADER IS UP AND THE
CHANNEL IS NOT MUTED...
Check that the channel is routed to the mix bus,
either directly or via the groups. Hit the select but-
ton(s) for the channel in question, and see
whether the Route To Mix button or any of the
Route To Group buttons are lit. If it's routed to a
group but you still can't hear it, check the
group's level, and that it isn't muted. To do this,
select the Master Fader bank, and check fader
positions and mute buttons for the eight faders on
the far left.
ONE OR MORE CHANNELS SOUND
VERY ODD - I KNOW THE INSTRUMENT
SHOULDN'T SOUND LIKE THAT.
First check whether you've applied radical EQ to
the channel - press and hold the EQ In button in
the Select panel, and see whether the select but-
tons on the channels in question are lit. If you're
using two mono channels to record a stereo
instrument, check that both channels are in
phase, and that the channels are panned left and
right. (If you have copied settings from one chan-
nel to the other, to give them the same EQ and
FX/Aux settings, then you may have copied the
pan settings as well. In the Chan Copy Setup
menu you can disable the copying of pan settings
between channels.)
I'M HEARING UNEXPECTED POPS AND
CLICKS, OR DISTORTION, ON DIGITAL
INPUTS.
This is almost certainly a wordclock problem. If
you are using an ADAT with
your 328, and using the optical interface, check
that the ADAT is set to receive wordclock. Ensure
that wordclock is being properly distributed, and
where appropriate that all devices are set to slave
to timecode from the appropriate inputs. Try
making a different device the master - some DAT
recorders, for example, must be the wordclock
master when or changing the clock frequency of
the wordclock master. Try turning everything off,
and turning them on again in the order they are
connected in the wordclock chain, starting with
the master.
I CAN'T WORK OUT HOW TO ROUTE
CHANNELS IN STEREO THROUGH
GROUPS TO THE MIX.
In order to use groups in stereo, you must first
link adjacent pairs - 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, or 7&8. If
groups are not linked in this way, they are auto-
matically routed in mono to the Mix. (Note that
this applies to 328 software V1.1 and later). To
link two groups, press and hold the Group Link
button in the bottom right hand corner of the
front panel, and press the select button for the
odd-numbered Group. All channel pan settings
are now preserved when you route channels
through linked groups to the Mix. To route the
groups to the Mix, press and hold the Route To
Mix button, and press either of the select buttons
for the paired Groups.
MY SEQUENCER ISN'T RECORDING MY
FADER MOVES AND OTHER CONTROL
MOVES.
Check how the sequencer is set up - it is probably
not recording MIDI controller data, which is used
for the 328's dynamic automation. Change your
recording preferences to allow this to be recorded.
Make sure MIDI Automation is switched on in the
328 Automation Setup menu.
WHEN I USE DYNAMIC AUTOMATION,
THE FADERS ARE JUMPING AROUND
INSTEAD OF MOVING SMOOTHLY.
This is caused by a MIDI loop via your sequencer.
Turn off MIDI Thru so that data from the 328 is
not re-sent to its MIDI input.
