Re: Troubles recording vocals through bass octave effect

[Mike Fugazzi <mikefugazzi@gmail.com>]

OMG!!!!  You may be on to something!  I've been trying to figure this out since September and this is the first piece of actual evidence that 1.) I am not insane and 2.) there may be a fix.

Even if this isn't my magic bullet, THANK YOU!  I can't communicate enough how appreciative I am that you and others on this list have taken time to help me trouble shoot.

Here is a freshly recorded take of the issue:  http://mikefugazzi.com/files/BassRinging.mp3

I would say no, Richard.  I've tried monitoring literally every way I can.  All the evidence suggests the problem occurs AFTER the recording interface.

Just a shot in the dark here (did not read the thread). Is it possible depending on where you are plugging in your head phones the audio is being reduce to a mp3 file where the lower freq are being cut off?

No.  That's the thing.  I had always used the headphone jack of the Blackjack to listen previously.  Since I was on a different level of the house, I used the computer's jack.  That being said, it doesn't matter how I record, I get that sound on the bass parts.  However, it appears if I use the BJ to playback music, it is either so buried I can't hear it or it isn't there.

I will double check this tonight.  At first I thought it was the headphones, but if that sound gets recorded, and others hear it on playback, it can't be the cans (I also have had no issues with them on my iPod or smart phone).

I have no idea if there is a "solution" to this as it appears the computer will not only create this interference, but include it on playback (so recording a dry track and using a plug in to create the bass part will probably yield similar results).

So are you listening to Vic Wooten using the BlackJack outputs?
