Automation adding distortion?
I'm running Pro Tools 8.0 (original, un updated) and I'm doing automation on a mix and I'm hearing what seems to be distortion where the automation is happening. Has any one else experienced this? I'm trying to figure out if it's a product of the software, or the computer not keeping up.

Re: Automation adding distortion?
Not quite enough info, does it sound like zipper noise or does it only happen when you turn the volume up on something? Without knowing more I can only suggest you bring all the faders down, (group all) this way you won't have to change all the automation moves. You can highlight all the channels, put them in volume edit mode and drag them all down 5db's or so. Select a point after the end of the song, make sure they all go down beginning to end not just another breakpoint.)

Re: Automation adding distortion?
Do you have a Master Fader? Is it at unity? If so, follow the advice above. If not, put up a Master Fader at unity. Is it clipping? If so, follow the advice above.
Cheers,

Re: Automation adding distortion?
The master fader is well below unity, and nothing is clipping. The sound is like a digital garbling..or worbling. I have my drums, rhytm, main gtr, bass and vocals all in their respective groups. It's when the automation occurs is makes the worbling noise on the vocals. I've done other automation passes with gtr and it doesn't seem to do it.

Re: Automation adding distortion?
Long shot maybe but is it an Elastic Audio type warble?

Elastic Audio isn't even enabled It's really bizarre.
