Tape Machine Distorting on Input!Help

Good Morning,

I need some help calibrating my APR-5002. I've run through the calibration process several times and when I try to record directly from a CD
source(+4dbu) the play back is distorted. The recorded material is about 12 dbs below full scale and peaks at -6dbs.

Here are the tape machine parameters:

DIGIMAX to DIGI 001 (Clock or jitter problems?)

I’ve been learning a lot reading your posts here guys.
So, first of all, I should say THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE AT THIS FORUM.
But I need an advice.
I have a DIGI 001 at my home studio and I am planning to buy a DIGIMAX (PreSonus) to improve the number of available inputs I can record at once (8 analogs + 8 digital).

Auto-tune setting!

Hi, Need help with auto tune! Everytime I try to use it it makes the vocal tracks sound weird, and dont tune them right. I'd like to know what settings do you use! is there like a universal scale just to tune up everything? I dont want it to sound like a techno recording you know what I mean. Just a little bit of tuning...also seems like auto-tune goes crazy on vibrato vocals...

External Clocking, Jitter and Sound Revisited

In the new issue of Tape Op, Bob Katz of Digital Domain states that "99 times out of 100, the INTERNAL clock in a converter will produce lower jitter and thus better sound than if you clock that converter externally from the most stable wordclock generator in the world! The reason: A crystal oscillator is much stabler than a phase locked loop.
