eliminating

Hi there



I've come by one of the old dbx 160x units. However, it gives an unacceptable buzz when I crank the output gain above 0. It loses the buzz when I bypass the unit or turn it back down. Could this be a grounding issue?



Other important stuff is:

I'm using a field recording of speech that was recorded in a very bright lively room. There's a lot of this room sound on the recording and wonder if anyone has some recommendations for getting rid of some of that room sound and retaining a pretty "natural" sound. In other words, I'm trying to make a very "roomy" recording sound deader.

Thanks.

Anybody have any tips/advice on eliminating dust from a home studio ?

I want to bring in a ukelele fingerpicking part but it seems as though no matter where I put the mic (I only have one) the string-plucking attack rings out very strong, resulting in a kind of percussive artifact. I've tried moving away and turning up the gain to no avail.



My setup:



Shure KSM27 Mic

M-Audio FireWire 410 Interface

I am currently trying to start some recording. I am using a M Audio Pre USB, a MXL MXL990 Condenser Mic with Shockmount, using Guitar Tracks PRO software all on a laptop.

Hi,



Has anyone found the best method of Micing an acoustic guitar without getting the noise from the pick coming through?



Thanks.

Hey all..

I'm down to the mastering portion of my latest project (9 song rawk album, lotsa OD'd Les Pauls thru Marshalls, you get the idea).



In the past I have only used my T-Racks mastering software to bump up the overall volume, make things sound a little bit bigger etc..

Has anyone here had any experience with using balanced power transformers to get clean power to their entire setup? I'm looking at units from Furman and Equi=tech but I'm new to the area. I have 60Hz hum running through my lines like mad and I don't want to filter it out because of the entailed signal degradation.

OK, I'll try again in a new post.



Any tips for reducing hum? I have a couple of old cassettes with bad hum on them, but this seems to be something at which SF-NR doesn't do a very good job.



thanks
