Hello,
I was recording drums the other day, and on random takes I would playback the performance and it would sound doubled, almost like my talkback mic was picking up the sound from my monitors and recording it with the drums. However I had my talkback mic muted when recording and it seemed to occur totally at random. I also tried recording with the monitors off.
We would finish a take and play it back and we would hear the effect. Then we'd try it again just messing around with drums and it would work fine. It seemed every time we would attempt to do a real take, the noise would occur, and everytime we'd mess around to test the system out it would work fine. We got to the point where our drummer said "ok, 'wink-wink', lets just mess around on this one" and we would actually do the take for real and it worked flawlessly.
Every time that it would fuck up after that we would say "lets just mess around on this take" and it would work fine every time we said that. We were recording at my dads house in the mountains which was rumored to be haunted, but I'm thinking it was more of a technical problem than a supernatural one. I mean if you believe in ghosts then maybe you could believe that something was playing a prank on us trying to screw up our recording, but I dont think its too likely. But then maybe that could explain the weird rubbing noise that seemed to play hide and seek with us in our audio equipment. I dunno.
