The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I am newer to protools but I have pt8 m-powered and fast track pro. When tracking anything I get a bunch of reverb in the headphones or monitor either way. The reverb is not there when you listen on playback but it makes tracking vocals much harder. I have to pull one of the phones off my ears just to (try) sing in tune.
Anyone had a similar experience they figured out?

Is it reverb or echo? Sometimes latency makes it seem like there is an echo in the headphones. Otherwise, I would look for a cue mix application in Protools and see if there is reverb engaged on your track there.

Yeah, that sounds like a latency issue to me too.

Go into your mixer controls, go to setting, go to AISO buffer size. Now look at where the buffer size is set to. Set it to a lower number. IE: if your ASIO buffer is set to 1536, go to a lower number, like 896, etc. Only go as low as you really need to go to eliminate the delay echo. Because the lower the buffer size, the heavier it is on your cpu. I keep mine at 512. The only time I raise that buffer size is if I have a lot of tracks with a lot of plug-ins working. I'll need to raise it to keep my DAW from glitching.
Hope that helps, good luck.

edit: if you have a mac, I don't know the correct terms for everything I posted above. One of the mac guys will have to help you there.

Damn your good!
Thanks guys. Changing the hardware buffer size gets rid of the reverb/delay. By the way at different settings this sounds like a delay and others like reverb. Who knew? Oh wait that was you two.
And all I had to do was ask this whole time...

That'll make some shit a lot easier.
