sometimes when working in pro tools similar "accidents" occur. i don't know
exactly what causes it but playback of a track or tracks will happen very
slow and at a lesser bit level. sounds awsome. it's unpredictable and
random, but if you can play a track until it happens and then sample the
accident it would be very cool in a "song". i've done this myself and
enjoyed the results quite a bit.
