Sorry for the late response Dave, there is no rest for the wicked, that=92s
for sure!!
What I was doing was recording with a mic to my computer via a motu 728 int=
o
a roland2480 and back again. I had left the sliders fully open while
narrating giving an echo back through the recorder and computer. What I
should have done was pulled the level controls down to zero omitting the
phase sound. It is a pain in the rectum when this happens.
You should be ok if you are just recording through a sound card. The chance=
s
of this happening are zero but I like to complicate things like a bloody
idiot :)

I cannot explain why, but how I noticed it:
Martyns voice sounded strange. The effect is hard to explain. It's
emotional. "It just isn't right".
I looked at the phase-scope and found that every time Martyn spoke, it
leaned to the left.
Trying to use a little more gain on the right channel, to compensate
- only resulted into a lower overall gain. One channel tended to partly
cancel the other.
You can imagine this:
Suppose you listen to something with your earphones, connected 180 degrees=
out of phase. (+ to - and - to +) Then, one membrane will go inwards to
your eardrum while the other goes outwards. It's unnatural.
Martyns voice was (partly) like that. Why, I can't say. Martyn has to
explain that.
