Hey guys, I have a problem I can't seem to get to the bottom of. I have a mix I'm very happy with - all the levels are good, the effects work, and I like the sound. When I'm listening to it in PARIS, everything sounds great.

The problem is when I bounce it to disk. When I listen to the L/R PAFs (or WAVs, FLACs, or MP3s), suddenly one of the parts of the song - a big chorus-sounding comp I put together and inserted into the track - gets what I can only describe as "fluttery". I can't tell if it's pumping from the compressors, a phase issue, or what.

Why can't I hear it in PARIS? Why does it only show up in the bounce? And more importantly, how do I fix it??

If you'd like to hear it, I've put the project files (the ppj with audio) and the bounce up:

This is due to the mastering engineer ASAP, and I can't get a clean mix out. Any insight you guys can provide would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

Ok... I just figured it out. I wasn't hearing it direct from my DAW, so I thought it was something that was happening in the PAF to WAV/MP3/FLAC conversion in Audacity. I could hear it both through my monitors and headphones when I was listening to the mix from the computer. But then my girlfriend listened to the mix in her car and said she couldn't hear it. So I was baffled.

On a whim, I switched my headphones to my FocusRite VRM box while I was typing this email... and the flutter completely went away. It sounds perfect. It turns out it was the usb sound module I was using all along. Somehow it was doing some data or audio compression that fucked with the sound, and my ears. And my head.

The worst part is that everything else I've ever listened to through this device.sounded just fine, so this kind of came out of nowhere.

Thanks, dnafe, for taking a look at it. Sorry for the false alarm. Confused
