Default Bounce to Disc malfunctioning - HELP!!!

I recorded tracks the other day using a Presonus Digimax lightpipe unit for drums - I set the sample rate to 48 to satisfy the existing Pro Tools track (Gtr).
I also recorded bass DI at that time. I came back afterward & recorded two vocal tracks - mic pre into the 002. The tracks sound great running on the monitors - but when I try to bounce to disc the vocals only make weird warbling sounds. I tried to alter the sample & bit rates but still no luck on the bounce.

The computer is a new Mac running OS X (Lion) with Pro Tools 10. I am still using my trusting (old) 002 mixer.

Has anyone else had this problem & found a fix?

Thanks!

Jim

Is the Digimax still connected? Is your clock source set to ADAT or Optical?

The Digimax is connected but not on. (It is connected into the Fire Wire Port).
The Optical input was set to external but is set back to internal. I tried bouncing w/ the Digimax on & connected but it made no difference. I have done other projects with the Digimax before and haven't had this problem.

I will do that as I get down the road but when I am first recording & building tracks it seems easier to Bounce them for the client to listen to. I understand the lower sound quality of bouncing - but at this stage I use it for reference. Any suggestions on my BTD problem though?

Hi,

Sounds like a potential clock issue. Make sure the clock is set to internal. The external hardware devices have no effect on the BTD unless they are providing clock. Try disconnecting the external devices and see if the session plays ok. Then BTD.

There is nothing inherently wrong with BTD btw. I've been using BTD for over 10 years and rarely have a problem.

Hope this helps.

Are you converting after the bounce, could be processor loading.
Also is LLM Off?

I usually turn Low Latency Monitoring on for tracking and off for everything else.

Try it, and also try to always run the same configuration(IOW, leave the ON and connected and always set clock source to ADAT. Reason being that its possible to have a session set for one sample rate(either 44.1 or 48K and have the Digimax set to the other sample rate, and the session will follow the Digimax, even if its set to a different rate than the session(changing sample rates on audio that is already recorded will make it play at the wrong speed and pitch).
