One of my biggest problems with getting a good electric or acoustic guitar sound is the abundance of string and fret noise. I'll touch on the acoustic side of things first.

i'm getting fret noise on my new fender active jazz bass (5-string). when i play notes near the bottom of the neck (frets 1-5ish) on the B string, its very difficult to finger the notes without hearing the string vibrate against the fret as i'm pushing it down. i'm not getting a buzz once i've pushed it down, only as i'm pushing it down or lifting up.

I have a Mac G4 with a MOTU 828mkII and a pair of M-Audio BX8 monitors. I'm hearing a faint but steady and repetitive beep (about once per second) from my monitors, and I think I've narrowed down the cause to my two external SATA drives. If I turn either one of the drives off (or both), the beeping stops.

I'm recording some podcasts using Boehringer C1 mic and UB802 mixer with Audacity software.

I'm getting a very quiet vocal sound even with gain up and a lot of noise. Noise reduction gives me a very tinny effect almost immediately.

What can I do to either suppress the noise, or get more vocal sound?

Hello People,

Recently I've recorded a show as a matrix (sbd+audience microphones).
The soundguy used a digital soundboard Yamaha.
It was an acoustic show.
On the loud parts, there are some clicks and clipping (soft) as it was a vinyl.

How could I remove that ? (remove or attenuate)

Ok I have a sytek preamp with the burr browns very smooth going to an AKG solidtube mic nice mic it just seems to have a lot of hum could the power supply be going bad?

...

to rec my trash I am now using Guitar Rig 2, but here is the problem: both with clean or distorted, listening carefully it is possible to notice a "noise" while the instrument is silent.

Any of you folks come across a metallic, high pitch noise in the monitors apparently being caused be LCD displays? Swap them for CRTs & the noise vanishes :?

Hello everybody.
I'm new to this board. Today I read a lot here but there's a question ID like to read your opinion about.

By the way, excuse my bad English, please :oops:
