The Masterlink ML 9600 is a professional digital audio recording and mastering system, so there are a few potential causes for this issue:

  1. Hard drive failure: If the hard drive on the ML 9600 is failing, it can cause issues with playback, including distorted or "drill-like" sounds.
  2. File corruption: If the file that you recorded and saved on the ML 9600's hard drive becomes corrupted, it can cause issues with playback.
  3. Firmware issue: If the firmware of the ML 9600 is not up to date, it could cause problems with the playback, especially when it comes to filing compatibility.
  4. Interference or electronic noise: If there is any kind of electronic noise or interference in the area, it could also cause playback issues, including distorted or "drill-like" sounds.
  5. Problem with the analog or digital output stages of the ML 9600.
It would be best to check the hard drive, ensure that the firmware is up to date, and verify that the file is not corrupted, and then check with the manufacturer for further assistance. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the unit serviced by a professional technician.

Masterlink shut down during a CD playback and won't power up at all. No lights, no sound, nothing.

You need a competent tech to look at the possibility that the power supply has failed - seems the most likely explanation

Recording levels are low

There's no record level adjustment on the Masterlink. Increase the output level of your mixer, or add a variable level preamplifier between the mixer and the Masterlink.

Or, use the level adjustment on the Masterlink once the recording has been done, and before you write it to CD, either with level control or DSP normalisation

When sending either analog or digital sound from my presonus VSL I am not getting any sound to the alesis masterlink. Need some advise please.

The Alesis needs to be in record standby to show any inputs as a signal on the VU meters. Press Record for standby, and press Play to start recording.

You need to be in a playlist, on a track in a playlist, in order to enter Record Standby

I cant make recordings on my masterlink every time a record a few songs and try to burn a red book cd from the hard drive it says songs less than 5 seconds

Look at all the tracks in the playlist that you're trying to burn to CD - is there a track that you've perhaps forgotten about still in the playlist, one of less than 5 seconds?
When you press Create CD, you're telling the Alesis to create a CD from the WHOLE of the current playlist, not just the track you recorded most recently ...

Corrupted FS on Alesis

reload the o.s.
if you have the time, pull the HD and format it in a PC, then reload the alesis o.s. it may seem like a bit much but it can be worth it to go this route.

NO POWER UP

Either the HD is bad or you will need to reinstall the O.S. /firmware.
the firmware is avail on the alesis site

I accidentally deleted a recording on the Masterlink ML-9600.

I realise this problem is years old, but for the benefit of anyone with the same problem -

It depends on whether the track has been deleted from a Playlist, or from the Track Storage Area itself. If it's only been deleted from a Playlist, it will still be on the machine

Scroll beyond the end of any playlist, and you'll find the stored tracks. It's only possible to delete a track permanently by going through a 'This will permanently delete the track. Are you SURE?' prompt, so you can't say you weren't warned....

Masterlink ml-9600

To delete a Track from a playlist, you must currently have that Track selected in the display. Pressing the DEL TRACK button will cause a confirm delete page to be displayed,where "Song 01" is the name of the Track to be deleted. Pressing UP/YES will remove that Track from the playlist, moving the next Track in the playlist in its place. Pressing DOWN/NO will cancel the operation and return the unit to its previous state.

NOTE: Deleting a Track from a playlist does not delete the audio samples from the hard disk. The audio remains on the disk in an "Audio File"

I tried the "pressing play/pause and record simultaneously" during power
up, and it worked.....dunno for how long. The unit still makes strange
noises occasionally and doesn't seem completely healthy, but it's up
and I'm copying files that I want to save. We'll see.
