Layla Users ONLY:
I have read threads from even the SF staff about the phasey sound of vocals when using input monitor, and I have accepted it and lived with it.
However, over the weekend during a session, I got to thinking about redundant software in my system and how that might effect the sound. I have Echo console loaded on my computer which if I am correct, is required to use the Layla card. So DURING a vocal dub, I opened Echo console and MUTED the analog track that the vocal was passing thru...miraculously, the phasey sound disappeared! ( I then tried muting master levels which muted the sound altogether...it DIDN'T however, mute the the track i was recording, it was there on playback!)
Input monitor now sounds perfectly normal and I am blissful. There are still problems with input monitor not working at times...I am waiting to see if this fix cures the other things as well.
I hope this works for you as well if you were living with that phase. Let me know how it goes for you!
Pete
