Record, playback problem
I have a DP-01 and a micro Korg synth. I have plugged the synth into the DP via the mic line/guitar with a quarter inch cable. When I plug in my headphones and turn up the volume on track 1 and the master volume I can hear my synth through the DP just fine. So I followed the instructions to record and while recording I can hear what I'm playing and the level monitor on the DP's LCD registers the sound. However when I stop recording and try to playback what I've just recorded, all I hear is the fuzz/white noise in my headphones. So my first question is how do I hear the playback of what I've just recorded? My second question would be have I recorded properly? Please help. Your time and consideration is most appreciated--Nick

Hi Nick,
The fuzz/white noise is a little confusing and it seems to be saying that you are recording something vs trying to record incorrectly and getting nothing at all. Anyway, despite that, I would try going over your recording steps first.
First off make sure your Hi-Z input is not set to the Hi-Z or guitar setting. It is possible your that MicroKorg is overloading the input and distorting. You should however have heard that in the headphones too, so I'm not so sure that's the problem. The next thing to check is to make sure your input is assigned to the track you expect to be recording on. (Press the input's button to check this. The select/record button over the track should flash).
Next make sure your track is armed for recording before you press 'play+record' (Record button above the track should light steady when recording).
Hope this helps.
