Do you know the make/model of the board?

no, I have no idea. I'm going there again on Thurs though so maybe I could find out.

Is there any chance you had the phantom power turned on and fed it to the mixer?
It looks to me like there is huge DC offset.

I was recording to an Olympus LS-10, which doesn't provide phantom power, only plug-in power.

personally i would say the guy's sbd was messed up.  i/o's go bad.  i have tried to get feeds and have been told that some of the aux's are bad and only one is left, so i have to get mono. i have a mackie 24/4 as a pre at my house and have a couple of dead outs.  if you go back to the venue, try another output from the sbd.

I don't know if anyone can diagnose what went wrong here. I downloaded the sample and my input on the matter is that these "ticks" of signal are in time with the kick drum. Off the top of my head I can't really guess how you managed getting whatever this signal is out the board. It's clearly not a clean and proper path. It's almost as though it is a keying signal from a side chain. Very strange.
