I haven't been recording for about 2-3 weeks.
Tonight i sat down and was going to do a before/after pickup swap video.
I'm using an sm57 into the m-audio fast track pro. i had kickass results before.
when i play back the recording in reaper, it's like something is clicking on and off... like for 2-3 seconds the signal is good, then it's like the gain jumps and everything is clipping like the input of the m-audio was being slammed by too much gain.
When i use the headphone monitoring i can't hear this.
I tried swapping inputs - same
i tried taking the mic out and the problem seemed to go away in in the recording, which makes me think it's the mic, but why can't i head this in the headphone monitoring?
this isn't subtle either.. it's MAJOR clipping.
I'll see if i can upload a sample somewhere.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Tim
