Hi. The last night I had a frustrating experience, recorded my favourite band from balcony just up to the soundboard, I'm was very happy with the chance but when arrive at home, the recording was a fucking shit!!
What fuck is it???
My rig was a cmc-2 > spsb1(basrollof 107Hz) > R1
Anybody have similar experiences?
What would be the cause?
Looks like your clipping.
but clipping at -6db?¿?¿
;D... ya I dont think your clipping at -6
looks to be either some compression or brickwalling.
how does it sound?
saturated...here a sample http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=5583164
Now, while did it the sample,
I saw on the phase scope and strange figure, like rhombus...see on the attached image?¿?¿?¿
did you try duplicating the problem at home? looks like brickwalling to my amatuer eyes.
does the R1 have a limiter function?
yes, have a limiter function, but was off, at home i try to record with the same equipment and seems that all it's ok, it's very strange
how close were you? seems like too many SPL's wherevere you were
does it sound distorted at all ??? if not, i wouldnt worry too much and maybe next time run attenuators after your mics if you'll be recording in that same situation frequesntly
my 0.02
thanks to all for your answers, yesterday i recorded again, and no problem, maybe it's time to upgrade my mics
