Hi all,
I have a question for the group.
In recording the bass guitar I have notice some strange waveforms.
You can see it here...
Anyway, to my eye, it appears to be phasing of sorts...
Let me describe the chain:
Bass (active) --> Alembic F-1X preamp -->MOTU 896HD (line level) --> Logic.
Has anyone every noticed this before? Is it normal? How can I eliminate it?
Thanks in advance,
Lenny

Thanks D. I am nearly positive that I don't hear anything out of
Thanks D.
I am nearly positive that I don't hear anything out of the ordinary after the track has been recorded.
While recording, though, I, more often than not, hear a "chorusing"-type of effect. Not latency, that sounds different.
I ran some tests after I posted this and the results were the same...
Active bass --> preamp --> motu
Active bass --> motu
Passive bass --> preamp --> motu
Passive bass --> motu
Even thinking that there was some phasing with magnetic pickups, I tried it with a piezo-pickup and got the same result.
Anyway, I welcome others to chime in with their .02.
Thanks, it's good to be "hear"!

I see this waveform a lot. At first, I had assumed it might be something weird, but never noticed anything wrong with the sound. Instead, I just assumed that it was normal. After some compression though, it should go back to at least "looking" normal.

Do you hear anything wrong? I'm guessing not. This is probably

This is probably just an artifact of the waveform drawing process. Ears, not eyes.
