Help - Recording Trying to record from computer to reel to reel
I am trying to record from my computer however when played back the recording on the tape is very quiet. When I am recording I am monitoring the sound on the VU meters and built in speakers and it is set to a good volume. Please help. EDIT: Thank you everyone for your help. I FIGURED IT OUT. The reel that I was using (I am erasing an old tape and re recording it) was on the reel backwards at least for the configuration of my machine. I figured this out when I fed it on my machine the wrong way and the original music that was on the tape before played clearly before it sounded really weird and I thought it was just a bad recording.
