PTHDX 10.3.9 OSX 10.8.5 192 I/Os 32 In 40 Out. Hardrive 2TB mac Ext Journaled 7200 RPM SSL4000G+
Ok. Need help with this one. We have 6 PT rigs. All others are TDM and Native and we dont have this issue on any of them. Ive been using PT since 91'. Ive been able to fix all issues until now. I believe this is a program issue.
This has been happening for a while but today it killed me. Recording full Jazz band 6 piece. 24 tracks. No plug ins. One aux track for TB to headphones. All songs recorded in 1 session in a linear timeline. All tracks were Setup in the beginning but different ones were armed throughout the session when the piano player moved to rhodes, Etc.
First few songs were recording fine, same setup for each. no problem. then.... we had to arm new tracks to add an instrument. The recording of the third song seemed to be going fine. We did two takes. When the band came into listen. ALL THE AUDIO WAS 8 BIT RESONANT DISTORTION on playback. you can still hear some semblance of the performance but it sounds like an 8 bit vocoder on every track. The audio was definitely laid down that way. If you zoom all the way into the wav forms there is square clipping on every peak of every track.
So throughout the session, every time we armed a different track, we had to record a couple seconds of audio and play it back to make sure the same thing wasnt happening. About 20% of the time, it was. We had to toggle the playback engine back and forth to make it stop.
And whats even more scary....During the last Overdub drum take, It went into distortion halfway through the take!! only noticeable on playback.
Ive had this issue while mixing before. I assumed it was plug ins and it was just on playback. I could always hear it as soon as it happened. but this is completely unacceptable. My $20k HDX system is a recording time bomb.
So, What I believe I have figured out (and Ive seen related topics in other threads) is this has to do with having an aux track in the sessions. Any Aux track. That... sets up the issue. What triggers the issue is arming a second track in the session. Many times in other sessions while recording Vocals (with reverb on an aux) as soon as I arm a second track to do a double, I get massive latency out of no where on the newly armed track. I BELIEVE THESE TO BE RELATED. its all about the Aux track being added to a session.
Huge issue. Im wondering If any other HDX users are seeing this. I feel like Avid is only really concentrating on native and leaving HDX high and dry.
