OK, it seems to vary, it wasn’t as bad yesterday as the day before.
I swapped around my USB connections, but I don’t have many, an external drive, a CD drive, wireless keyboard and mouse on my Mac, that’s it, my interface is on FireWire.
I played reference tracks on the CD drive, I’ll import some into Reaper today.
The monitoring set-up isn’t very good, I’m using Behringer Truths, one is in a corner, and I’m wondering, there is a large brick alcove behind my Mac screen, I’m wondering if that’s colouring the sound?
I turned down the bass on the monitors, and the room compensation switches, it helped a bit, but this strange character was still there, changing the interface back to the Behringer seemed to make it worse, but I’m not sure.
I think it’s about time I optimised my monitoring position, and maybe, even investing in a slightly better pair of monitors, nothing crazy, as the room isn’t treated, but at least, something a bit better than these Behringers.
I need Hugh and the team here, but on second thoughts, they’d probably run screaming if they saw my set-up!
