Gswitz Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I'm guessing I overdrove something. The mic? The pre? I'm going to have to dive back in and try to recreate it, but I thought I'd ask you all. It was a tube mic I was recording with. Guitar aimed at it. Sounds like clipping but it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted Tuesday at 09:28 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:28 AM That looks more like a computer/buffer problem more than clipping or other wave form defects. It could even be a bad connection in a wire or other device. One question does it happen all the time or just happened this one time. If it happened more than once in the same song, Is there any logic to the spacing between the groups of glitches. This doesn’t look like an over driven section but Was it played really loud.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gswitz Posted Tuesday at 07:30 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 07:30 PM (edited) I got a phone call. I think it was from a cell phone. The phone was muted but on. I did have one overdriven signal going into the rme ucx, but that was a different channel. I suppose it could have been the rme... idk Edited Tuesday at 07:45 PM by Gswitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted Tuesday at 11:11 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:11 PM 3 hours ago, Gswitz said: I got a phone call. Cell phones transmit more power when actively in a call, so this could be a simple proximity/shielding issue between the phone and your audio interface/cables (RFI/EMI). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gswitz Posted Wednesday at 11:08 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 11:08 AM (edited) I looked last night... I had 2 copies of the same input coming from the pre amp... one went to a compressor. The compressor had the output gain turned up and i didn't notice. The two were then sent to the rme as channel 1 left and right.. these two channels saw the glitch. The glitch was definitely driven by volume, but the problem was at the rme. Channel 2 left and right was not impacted. I have never seen a clipping track mess up another. I've had my rme a might long time now. 2008? I'm not sure but it has been a while. It was not lightly clipping. Only at the loudest moments did the glitch happen. The digital glitch was less pronounced on the unclipped track. Edited Wednesday at 12:01 PM by Gswitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
