Nextel Click SampleThis is what a Nextel phone sounds like when it is too close to the recorder... I dropped my phone in my bag, I thought I had turned it off... but guess I did not... I had headphones on, so as soon as I heard this I grabbed the phone and turned it off.
Dumb.
I had never heard of Corn Mo, I went to see the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, but Corn Mo opened up... fantastic show... very funny... I will have to check the Microtrack I ran as backup to see if it got clicks too.
This sample is from the R-4 source.
I have never heard any phone interrupt electronics like the Nextel phones. I can be driving in the car and know a few seconds early the phone is going to ring... my radio clicks just like you hear on the sample.
Your clicks sound different than the Nextel, I would be curious to know what phone could have made your clicks.
It is totally possible that something being used by the performers at your show caused the clicks, but it would seem unlikely... if there was enough power to disrupt your recorder, then it would probably mess something else up... and would become audible in the PA or the monitors. If it is a peice of gear made for audio use, it would also be designed NOT to make interference... like I said it is possible, but not as likely.
I don't think it is interference at all... sounds like an encoding problem... something in the digitizing... check the drive... something isn't going fast enough to keep up... my guess.
Anyway... hope you figure it out.
good luck.
