Hello Again,
Just ran into a new problem with one of the projects I am working on and am rather befuzzled. I layed down some bongo's and every time I try to put reverb on them...I get some funky distortion. I've listened to the track at all volume levels and have taken a very close look at the wave form...there is no distortion in the track itself...I have solo'd it and listened carefully. I have tried 2 different reverb plugin's (Cakewalk and Sound Forge) and it does it on both. I have reverb on many other tracks and there's not a problem at all with them...what the hell would cause this??? I tried doing the track with roto-toms tuned to the same pitch and there wasn't a problem...it has only happened with the bongos (and I would rather keep the bongo track as aposed to the roto's as theres the nice "woody" tone there...could that be the cause?). I don't know if this matter's, but the bongo's themselves are LP Aspires...their decent quality and there's no rattles or anything and I do have them properly/evenly tuned. They are tuned a little higher then I normally tune, but I wouldn't think that would cause this kind of problem either. The song itself is in A minor and the bongo's are tuned (roughly) to the song. It's also a rather simple song actually...the whole song has only 2 chords...A minor and D major. Could it be some weird frequency thing that I'm missing?
This one has me really frustrated and confused...I've checked and double checked everything with the track dry, but they even distort when I put the reverb on the master track...is there something about bongo's and reverb that I'm missing here? I really need to set these back a little in the mix, without just lowering the volume (there's allot of acoustic guitar on this song and they get eaten up if I do that). If I have to, I can re-record the track of course and just run the bongo's thru outboard reverb, but I really would still like to know if anyone has some idea of what would be causing this.
I'm really greatful if someone can offer some idea of how to fix this.
As always, Thanks!
