Default A 4 track problem
I have just discovered whilst trying to record a song that track 4 on my tascam portastudio 464 will not play back. It seems that I can record to it, but I can't hear anything when I play it back (the levels on the screen show an output on track 4).

I've tried to clean the tape heads, but this has made no difference, any suggestions?

It is a Tascam Portastudio 464



When "Track 4" is "on" with it's moniter at a reasonable level, say 6, despite the LCD readout stating there is something on the track, there is no output. At first I thought it was the cassette I was using, but I've tried a few with no joy.

I've tried both my headphones, plus sticking it the the send of an amp, with no success. I may give it a slight tap.
