Chris Horton Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Hi, I am running PT11 on my Mac mini computer with a focusrite 18i20 interface. I have been working on a project and recently recorded a new vocal part. When I play back the whole song the new vocal part sounds like I am singing backwards ! How on earth have I managed this!!?? Are there any PT experts here that can help me out? Chris Edited January 13, 2014 by Chris Horton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You need to give us more information regarding Daw, software etc.............. but my immediate thought would be to turn your Mac the other way around - That might sort it.

[/quote] I am running ProTools 11 and my interface is the focusrite 18i20. Not really sure what else to say....... im flumuxed I have recemtly intalled an Apple time capsule to my system. I will dissconect it this evening and try to run protools and see if that is affecting it. I will also check my plug-ins on that channel.

lurksalot Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 My standard solution to these things is to undo , undo , undo until I find the prompt that tells me what I did ....... (..... undo invert time/space continuum ) etc Again not very elegant, but maybe you might find the bit where you shifted the time space continuum , ooh and just check for satanic proclamations while you do it , apparrently its rife don't you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Horses, bolts, gates etc.......I know, but for future.... Apart from saving on a regular basis Crt+s/Command +s etc.... It's always worth doing a save as - IE Project name, then after a change or edit(s)... Project name A, then Project name B and so on... That way you can always go back a step(s) and recover any earlier recordings or programming/edits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
