Distorting sound building up while recording
Hi
I have had this 4 times now. 3 times with clients sitting next to me. When I record one or multiple tracks, a distorting sound will build up. I stop recording, start again and then everything is normal. Yesterday I had it twice during a session with a top danish artist and a choir with 250 singers. Very annoying, especially because it happened during some of the best takes. Trash Prefs, plists and all that, is done regularly. How can I get rid of this problem? PT HD2 8.1.1.1 PCIe core and accel Mac intel 1.1 10.5.8 (AFAIR) 2 x 192 I/O Thanks for looking -Lars |

Re: Distorting sound building up while recording
That's a fairly old rig. Basic troubleshooting for me would start with disconnecting 1 of the 192's and test that way. Then swap for the second 192 by itself and see if you can pin the issue to either of the two(of course this will mean moving some D-Sub connections).

Re: Distorting sound building up while recording
Hi Dave
What do you mean...old.. I upgraded it last year from a Power PC PT 7.3 to Mac Pro Xeon Intel 1.1 PT 8.1 The problem is the same whether I use one or two 192 I/O's .. but of course I could try use the second 192 I/O (which I borrowed) as the master and not connect my own. Will try that. Thanks for the reply. Cheers -Lars |
