Has anyone else noticed when recording a MP3 that on playback the track sounds like it's underwater and has a bubbling effect and drop outs, the first couple of recordings I did sounded fine but now every take is like this.

I think this has been mentioned before

Can't remember who it was (or was it by you?)

Yes I thought I had read somewhere about this but thought the poster was talking about insert effects and this type of problem. Korg must have tested this recording function and if there is a problem companies like Zoom can make low cost recorders which work and on a three grand product this should work without problem.

Does it sound like that on other devices too? Say if you played it back on a computer/ipod..etc?

Some more experimentation today, When I first started mp3 recording I was able to say lay a Piano Track down, then overdub via Sound Mode to build up a number of tracks. When I returned to do some more I then found this odd effect was there.

Now if I use the sequencer to lay a Piano Track down and then record that into the mp3 recorder then over dub its fine, same if I use a style, then record a mp3 track with styles, then record that on mp3 and then overdub its fine.

Cant get my head around exactly how this happens but is anyone else finding this ???? Could it be latency with the Hard drive ? In fact does anyone know what make of drive is fitted to the Pa4x 76 and what model it is so we can check the specs. For the retail price of the Pa4x I cant understand why Korg did not install a SSD

While we are investigating the MP3 recording problem I have with my Pa4x can one or two of you who have the product try a quick test and report back your findings. The object of this is to either narrow down this issue or widen it dependent of feedback.

Try recording just a Short Piano piece with your Pa4x in Style mode, select say Concert Grand with no key split and add some Reverb, now record a short piece about 18 bars using the MP3 recording feature saving it to internal disk.
Now remove the reverb effect and repeat recording the same piece.

Now go to song mode and load up both players with each track, play back each one and see if you notice anything odd.

Well ! Thought someone might have been either curious or concerned to see if their own Pa4x exibits this issue but I am guessing your all having so much fun playing the Pa4x

Well, I leave mine at the venue where i play Tuesdays through Saturdays. I go in a little early sometimes and make some edits to styles and setup, but really no time to experiment.
I use an external recorder directly from my mixer to record my performances so have not even tried the built-in recorder yet.

This I think harps back to the mp3 issues and hardrive wake up does it not ??

This issue is about unwanted issues when playing back recored mp3 tracks made on the Pa4x and nothing to do with start and end times.

So has anyone tried this experiment and if so what are your findings ????
