I'm running a vs2480 24 track recording digital work station. I'm running this in a 12 x 12 room. I'm trying to record acoustic guitar using the following:

AKG C414 XL II Mic using a Cardioid pattern with a DB setting of -18 and Hz of 160

RODE NT 4 Stereo mic with no settings.

I have tracked a recording of Bartok's 44 violin duets with a couple of vintage ribbon mics through a Manley tube preamp, while recording the reverb in the hall with a couple of sdc's, and I'm now mixing the album. the result is absolutely gorgeous but needless to say with that setup, I do have quite a bit of noise that I need to do something about. So my questions are these:

I'm currently attempting to record a grand piano, and have run in to a few little hick ups. To give you an idea of my set up... I have one Shure SM81 mic which is running through a lower end M Audio interface. I wish I could record it in stereo, but this is all I can afford at the moment.

I'm currently working on a project in which I'm trying to separate a much louder and rapid periodic clicking tone from a barely audible recording of a voice. I know I'm in need of some high end software, and I've just started playing around with Izotope's RX in order to get the job done, however, it seems near impossible with the settings I have to work with.

Hey guys,

I've got a request, but I'm not sure if these are the right forums to come asking. If they aren't, please point me in the right direction, because Google did not.

There is a particular audio file I have of an old song that has some damage. It's mainly that annoying crisping sound throughout the song, but it really bothers me because it's such a beautiful song.

I'm a professional music producer and DJ and am looking for a small portable device to take on gigs to record both the music and crowd sound in high quality.

Hi to everyone!

I'm getting a bit annoyed by the constant presence of a low high-piched noise every time I plug an instrument to my M-audio fast track mkII. every time I playback audio or use Sonar 8.3.1 to record, I hear this noise which would be bearable if only it DIDN'T get INTO the recordings!

Hi,

Hey guys. I've been getting a crackly hum from my guitar amp. When I start adding compression to the mix the noise shoots through the roof. I've been told that I need to use a power conditioner instead of plugging the amp straight into the wall. Is this correct?

I recently bought a Shure sm57 to record my electric guitar amp. Problem is, while I am recording AND playing (so there's sound coming from the amp) there's a bzzzz when I playback what I recorded. When I stop playing (still recording) there's no buzz.
Also, when I record my own voice, there's no buzz at all.
