Hey everyone!

Hi. I am getting a lot of extra noise and hum when I record into my computer. This is my setup:

I'm upgrading my studio. Have a M-Audio Firewire 410 interface that's been giving me all sorts of trouble (software interface is buggy, drops out and comes back garbled, etc.).

Been looking hard at the PreSonus Firestudio (8 XLR Pres, 26x26 total with the optical I/O - never used the optical I/O on the 410, but need to experiment with that...need cables yet).

Hi folks,

I apologize if I'm posting at the wrong place, I wasn't sure if this should go to Mastering forum or here, simply because the music that I'm interested to work on is mostly Classical.

Hi. So I just bought a new laptop, nothing fancy some simple hp pavilion one. Right now I don't even have a mic plugged in and my empty recordings are choke full of noise. Hell I can even capture my own voice if i talk loud enough to the machine without a mic or any kind of sound input device on. I don't know if that's common but I thought it was very amusing.

So I just finished my studio hooked everything back up and tried tracking my mesa single rectifier and 4x12 (miked one speaker) Anyways anytime the track got a little bass heavy my left speaker sounded like something was fluttering inside. I hit the roll off switch on my pre and it took it away for last nite but I think something's wrong because it was only the one speaker not both.

Hello guys,

I just got the M-Audio Firewire Solo box today and it works great on my desktop but on my laptop while the laptop is plugged in it gives off this noise/static. I think it might be a ground loop isolation problem and i have a ground loop isolator from Radioshack but its for RCA connections. I'm thinking I might need a power conditioner. Any ideas?

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with unpleasant very high frequency 'noise' on my vocal takes that I generally have to eq out.
It's like there's some kind of artifact above 10k (that I don't think my voice is making but you never know!). If I multitrack B vs it's really noticable - almost like a hiss or a whistle.

Gents,

In our new studio we've a Triton workstation on a back console pluged into a clean isolated/grounded power source.

From the left/right Main output on the Triton we've connected it to a 2 channel Universal Audio 2-610 Tube Preamp which sets at the front console, powered by a totally separate clean isolated/grounded circuit.
