Why does my Voiceover Recording fade out?

Have you ever recorded a Voiceover artist and found that the audio has kept fading out on the recording?

It is odd I know but this happened to us a couple of times.

Our Senior Engineer Chris traced the fault to a tarnished jack in amongst our spaghetti wiring.

Luckily we always run a back-up for our voiceover recordings.

But now we are replacing these jacks with XLRs.

And a little less spaghetti.
