Guys, I had a recent situation that has me perplexed (which isn't hard to do) and hope you have suggestions to resolve this"?". I rolled out, did a mobile session using a DAW that has the Nuendo platform, running a RME Hammerfall 9652 audio card system. I tracked @ 96/32 to a SCSI drive in a carrier. I used a Focusrite 828 front end, feeding S/Mux lightpipe into the DAW.
The artist's didn't want to review any playback in the can's. I brought the raw tracks into the studio and attempted to just move the SCSI into the main DAW's (coined as 'Darth Fader')carrier port (the normal method of the way I work on live recordings). But the big tower unit didn't want to see the SCSI at all, so I had to go back to the mobile DAW, load back the drive and transfer the audio wav files over via S/Mux lightpipe as a new project.
All went well as I mixed their work and sent them a CDr of the mixes. Here's the nightmare...the female vocalist has perfect pitch and informed me the CD was a whole step off! First, what could have caused such, and what's the best approach to 'fix-the-mix'?
In the future, I guess I need some type of reference note to ensure I know everything's okay.
Semper Fidelity,
Blas
