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.

getting noise from my audio monitors (Mackie HR824's that usually sound really nice). high pitch crinkle & whine. When I click & hold mouse the sound changes slightly then goes back to regular whine cycle when I let go. Different windows make slightly different noises. I've tried to seperate cables as much as possible. can USB cause this unwanted noise?

Hi,

When I opened my studio about 8 months ago, I noticed a very small problem - or so I thought.

When recording an acoustic guitar using a pickup, direct into the desk in the control room, you heard a repeating, high-pitched, chirping noise.

Have a HHB 850 CD recorder. Recently puchased a vinyl turntable.

Hi to all, especially Kurt & David

My Drawmer noise gate finally crapped out on me after quite awhile of reliable use. (I bought it used anyway so who knows how much time it had on it with the previous owner). I'm planning to replace our studio with another Drawmer gate as I definitely think they make the best workhorse noise gates (I like the Aphex gates also...dont like the lack of a meter on the Aphex though). .

Hi everyone
I just bought an AT4060 off ebay.

Would it be safe for me to assume that much or most of the noise/hiss that I am getting in my recordings (from amplifiers and what not) will be overpowered by the actual signal in the mixdown and therefore will be masked from hearing? It's registering less than -50dbs (the noise that is).

hello everyone,
I'm new here, and as you can see, I'm not wasting any time :P

I've got an irritating noise problem with my DAW.
I've disconnected everything but my mixer and monitor, and the noise is still there. It's like a loud buzz, with some occasional pops.

I'm interested in learning some piano Micing techniques that will minimize damper noise.

thanks,
Benny
