Last week I did a session recording cleans using DI and an SM57 close to the strings at the same time. After two hours I took a ten minute break, then did two more hours.
I opened the project a few days later and found that everything recorded after the break sounds like this:
The DI track and the SM57 track were done through the two separate Hi-Z inputs on the breakout box.
I'm wondering if these artifacts are consistent with audio dropouts or if they could have to do with bad grounding (which has been an issue in the past).
I'm also curious as to why everything recorded up until a certain point in time was OK, and why all hell broke loose around the two hour mark.
Latency should not be an issue, and no plug-ins were running that could have taxed the CPU too badly.
I'd be happy if anyone could give it a listen.
