Re: RC505 bumps

[Michał Wiernowolski <mihalw@gmail.com>]

Hello Jean-Philippe,

I've found the following info in the rc-505 manual troubleshooting 
section, perhaps this is your problem?

'Sound is missing from the beginning and end of the recorded track'
'To prevent noise, a fade-in and a fade-out are applied at the beginning 
and end of a recording. In some cases, it may sound as if some of the 
sound has been left out.'

Nevertheless I wouldn't hesitate to contact Boss/Roland support, just 
make sure that you have the newest firmware.

Regards,
Michał
