Roll off ?

Hi,

I've been recording a couple concerts and they turned out quite well - i'm using a Sony MZ RH 1 mcd player and a Core Sound microphone with roll-off bass.

But yesterday, it didn't work proper - i noticed that the recording lights were going up to the "overdrive" mark, while they usually stay around the -12 dB.

I've been using a new battery, and exactly the same settings as usual (mirophone in the microphone plug, AGC set on "music", microphone sensitivity set on "low", and the roll-off in action.)

What i get is a sound which is fairly even in volume, but it saturates a bit, and most of all it's very clear that when the sound gets real high (with drums etc.) the guitar and voice and everything which would be the high-end frequencies actually loses volume, as if it was the drum sound which was setting the reference for the volume.

Can someone help me please to diagnose, and potentially fix what's wrong ? I have something to record tomorrow, and i wouldn't want it screwed

Thanks in advance !
