Recording from an internal source picks up a high-pitched whine

techgnosis · 2014-05-14T15:10:01.000Z

Hello

Track 1 is a Thru machine
Track 2 is a Neighbor
Track 3 is a Neighbor
Track 4 is a Neighbor

Track 5 is set to record from Track 4

When I record I get the correct recording but there is a high-pitched sound in the recording. It happens if I record straight from the Thru (Track 1) or if I record from the last Neighbor (Track 4).

The high-pitched sound does not occur if I tell track 5 to record from A/B directly.

Help?

Do you have the START SILENT on/off for the THRU?

And is this happening using only one pattern or coming from another pattern?

Im asking these because when you have a Thru and the pattern switches to a new pattern with the Start Silent activated for the same track where a Thru is placed, there is a bug that creates a high pitched noise (sometimes really high and dangerous!)

Anyway, I dont know if this could be your case, i should try your settings…as soon as i do…i’ll share my experience here.

I cannot replicate your issue…i mean-----with the same your configuration i dont get that noise…check that option and report back please

I can’t reproduce it with a default project either. I can reproduce the high-pitched whine consistently with one of my saved projects. It could be any number of settings. Is there any way I can send you the zipped project?

i sent you PM.

Anyway, have you checked that the option from the Pattern setup menu (START SILENT) —OR— from the PROJECT MENU > CONTROL > SEQUENCER > SILENCE TRACKS checkbox is not activated ?

That setting is in fact activated. Are you saying that I can’t have a Thru track be silenced by that setting? That completely kills my workflow. After I record a beat I want to playback just that beat so I have a pattern dedicated to playing that recorder. If I don’t silence the Thru track then I hear both.

Can you think of an alternative workflow?

How do I allow my drum machine to play through the OT, then record the drum machine and playback ONLY my recording while seamlessly silencing the live sound? I needed the SILENCE option to do that…

You are right that is the setting. If I stop silencing the Thru track then the high pitched whine goes away.

This is very disappointing. It took me a long time to find that setting and it’s crucial to my workflow.

""techgnosis"":

you can overcome the bug with a -64 VOL trigless p-lock on the first step of THRU for the new pattern.
-OR-
you can deal with AMP ENV settings…

it’s up to you

I strongly suggest you to deactivate the global option SILENCE TRACKS.
Use instead the START SILENT from the Pattern menu…of course, not on THRUs. But it is still ok for other kind of machines.

When a bug comes , the workaround is just around the corner. And OT has many corners…ahahaaha
