Metronome Stereo Bus Saturation

[<font]While recording live drums, I created a new stereo bus and named it “Metronome.” Then assigned the metronome generator to that bus to provide volume control for the drummer's headphones. Whenever he hit his floor tom, I experienced crosstalk in, and that distorted the metronome bus. None of the drum tracks (or any others) were assigned to the metronome bus. The project also contained a Reverb, a Delay and the Master stereo busses. Anybody have any clues what caused this. Thanks

    James, on the reverb or delay, (most likely it's the verb) check to see that you don't have "pre" enabled on the send. That's the only time I've ever experienced what you're asking about. I always keep my effects busses set to "post". Hope that's what it is. Good luck.
