Anyone else noticed an imbalance on some recordings where the main vocal seems like it's being drowned out by the instruments? Esp. on rock tracks.

It has to be something with your computer or iTunes sound settings. I have the same speaker and they are the best computer speakers I have ever heard. these speakers are very balanced when you set them up right. The rock.

I did noticed that. I also learned it was due to an inadequate power supply. At higher volume levels I found the best performance at 13.5vdc. I accidently discovered this by taking the speakers to the beach and using a car battery to power them. As the voltage dropped after a few hours of use, that's when I noticed higher pitched volcals being drowned out by the lower signals.

Thanks for the question. It has nothing to do with settings-it's muffled. The Companion 2 is like that too-not good, BOSE! If all Bose products are being developed this way I won't being buying any more.

maybe some distortion and lack of clarity in general, they are 250$ desk top speakers with no woofer, that being said i still believe these are a great value, maybe you need to upgrade to full-on home stereo system

Be sure the "Sound Enhancer" feature is turned off in iTunes. This is will cause the problem you describe.

They are noticeably more adept to separating instruments from vocals. I would skip these and go straight to the 225i though. They are the sweet spot.

I am having the same issue. Only with brand new albums. I have a 1930's record that is very scratched and THAT plays well. I was thinking what Keitholeous said. I am curious as to whether you had this resolved? Thanks

I am sorry, I can't answer this question. I am no longer using a tape recorder I have gone digital. It was too hard to find good tapes that didn't drag and distort the vocal sound. There was an output to ear phones, but that is all I remember. Sorry, Becky

Yes the vocals should be fine. We use backing tracks, a guitar or keyboard and vocals in the same type setting and have excellent clarity. I fit hearing aids as an occupation along with running a sound board for our bands big system, so I have had experience with amplifying sound. The only thing that you don't have is an individual equalizer for vocals, but we have not had a problem with that.

You might be getting ground loops. Balanced xlr or trs cable makes a difference. There is a ground loops adapter which may solve the problem.

yes, both instruments and vocals record well with exceptionally sharp response and clarity. I have found myself using the built ins more and more. Of course your room or recording area accoustics can be a contributing factor as well as distance from the recorder. Experiment, you won't be disappointed.

Happy Birthday, Joey. I don't know, I haven't had that problem with my player. Of course the turn it off and then back on is the first thing to try. Have you heard the songs played OK on your player yet ? Because something might have happened when they were transferred or in the recording itself. Otherwise maybe try different equalizer (EQ) settings.

Typically you find this in the "audio/interface settings" of either the DAW software or the system preferences. Tascam can help troubleshoot if needed.

Are you asking, is there a space between when one track ends and another begins? That answer is yes. Works the same for WAV as well.

Maybe smth happened with guitar. There must be some music during strumming the strings- both with or without the strum button depressed

Hard to say without hearing it, but I would guess, "yes" - something must be wrong with the speaker. I've never had fuzziness from the speaker. It's clear as a bell, unless I am cranking Hendrix ;-P

Hi there! First I would put my adjustments to about 12:00 on the Vocalist 3, make sure you have the volume for out put on the top right side of Vocalist 3 and set low or off, adjust your guitar amp like you regularly would and your PA to the volume you like when singing. I do not know what amp or PA or Guitar you have, I would check your guitar through your amp and see if the feed back or radio sound could come from your guitar your amp. Try your mics through the PA to see if you get the feed back or radio pickup through your mic or PA. When I was young I got Radio sound from my guitar and amp. I found that if I had my pedals and guitar to close to the amp I would have this problem. So try moving your pedals away from your amp and guitar away from amp, also make sure your PA is fair away from every thing your PA should be on the side and in front of you. I some time get Feed back and radio sound do to being to close to everything. Now that you have check every thing you have you amp for guitar set at volume, your PA and mic set at the volume and you are at a good distance from each other, try your Vocalist 3 with the out put volume low, put only the effects you want our need on the Vocalist 3, the out put on the Vocalist 3 top right sound be set very low because your guitar amp your PA are set to the level you want to here. Last but most important is make sure every thing is grounded if not you will have all kinds of problems. Good luck with your Vocalist 3 keep on jamming. One last note, u-tube has all kinds of demos you can check out on setting , etc. Just type in Vocalist 3 and what you're looking for. Good luck. John

Hmmm . . . the only thing I can think of then is that perhaps you have a defective unit. On mine, the low end is full and powerful, so much so that I've never felt the need for a sub (I'm using JBL L880's by the way). Curious--do you also notice this phenomenon with headphones?

Hi Jay. I don't thinks so. I have mine pretty well and I've never heard this kind of problem in 500. Maybe you can search it on Head-FI.org. I think sibilance should be unnatural in any headphones at this price... Does it happen for all piano and sax or just one song? Try more songs and make sure it's headphone's problem or not, and if so, burn in it more hours. If still, wish you a good luck...

At normal listening volume my wife could hear noises but not make out what they were standing 4' away. Turning the volume up to "rock out" volume, my wife could make out the tune of the song, but not any words.

I have used the headphones out and monitored both my vocal and guitar. There are also RCA six outs in stereo
