Grounding issue with laptop power cable/guitar

Hi,

I have a macbook pro laptop and my audio interface is the Apogee Duet 2. Whenever I plug my guitars into the Apogeeinterface I've got a hum going on. I can get rid of the hum if I take out my laptops power cable however I then have an issue of the laptop overloading frequently (not running at full capacity without power cable) and running out of battery without the power cable.

One Mic (under $200) for female vocals, acoustic guitar and electric guitar?

Forums

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

I'm looking to purchase a single mic to record female (alto) vocals, and acoustic and clean electric guitar. My guitar amp is a Princeton Reverb. I know that I should probably get two separate mics but I don't have the space or budget for that as I live in a very small room.

Lots of overdubbed guitars...

Hi! I have a problem.

In my never-ending quest for new tones and textures, I have recently overdubbed my rhythm guitars 20 times.

That's 20 takes of them playing in unison. I want an "orchestra" effect, and I don't mind doing the overdubs.

Thing is, I can't hear them all. I hear what sounds like 4 or 5 guitars. The only difference is volume, of course.
