:? i have a fender strat copy and i am having big trouble playing and recording stuff on it . it makes a lot of noise, and i mean a lot of noise.
even when the guitar is muted from the strings with hand. or when not touched.(when touched the noise is slightly lessen)
using any amp. vamp2, line 6 pod2, this problem does not occur using the same equipment but different guitar.

Lately I've been having a hard time controlling the bleed from my headphones into my recording mix. I like to put a live monitor into the guitar players headphone mix along with a click-track metronome.

Hi all
I have a tube mic that intermittently makes a sputtering noise. I've had that before on other mics, but it was caused by condensation and easily fixed. I know a faulty tube can cause this as well.

If the above causes can be ruled out, is there another reason why this should happen?

Thanks

Hi,

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

Thanks.

Has anyone any ideas of how i can reduce the spill from the hi-hat I'm getting on my snare mic.

Hey I have a particular artist that I record (rap) that has a deeper voice with a lip smacking problem. My setup includes a Focusrite platinum pro preamp with a Blue Baby Bottle mic, we have a standard black nylon wind filter on the mic and have not had problems with plosives just lip smacks. Is there some particular mic placement strategies I can implement to reduce this?

Hey folks...I'm picking up some fan noise from my PC tower when I'm recording VO stuff. When I fire up Sound Forge 7 to start recording, the ambient noise never goes above -55db on the VU meter...

Shure KSM 27 side-address condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. I purchased this mic about a year ago. Things ran smoothly up until last week when i began noticing these constant little snaps and pops(they are more prevalent when i am not making noise into the mic).

Does any body have any idea why my guitar head is picking a radio or tv freq and broadcasting it through my amp? :? :?

Hi guys,

I have this simple mobile setup which consists of a Dell laptop (slightly old version, I think - 1GHz processor, 256MB RAM and 10GB harddisk, but enough for tracking on the road), a M-Audio FireWire 410 connected via a firewire CardBus adapter and a couple of ADK large diaphragm microphones. Not the most powerful quality setup, but the budget isn't overwhelming either.
