I just got my Mackie DFX-12 and it did not quite perform to wad i visualised. I avoided Behringer as all says :p... ok, I did not connect anything to the inputs and tested the noise and it hissed real bad at +50db and faders at Unity gain... ("Full" setting). The hiss disappears (unnoticed) at about +35db:"2 o'clock". Is this normal?

I was recording at home last night and had to switch from my Trident S20 to a Digi 002 Rack simply because of too much noise.

I've heard that one of the G4 models is quite noisy. I'm thinking about buying a used one to get my foot in the door recording right now. I can get one for @ $1000-$1200 . That would work better with my budget right now instead of $3-3500K . Any thoughts or things to look for ? i'm planning on running through Motu828 mk3 &

What do you all use to not have computer noise be a factor? Do you build or buy cases that kill the noise or do you put it in another room? I don't have the luxury of putting it another room and it's pretty loud right now. It's a PowerMac G4 Quicsilver, a few years old (2-3). Thanks.

I have a paid of Sony C-38 FET mics, and one has gone about 6db noisier than the other. Same shape to the noise floor, just higher level. Anyone have experience with a good person to go over these and make a repair?

hi all

i'd appreciate some advice on a mic. it's for my home studio and i've been happy with my trusty sm58 for years but i think it's time to upgrade my mic since i would like to raise the quality of the vocals recordings (with the odd acoustic instrument every now and then).

I've noted the following problem: the new 7,200-rpms ATA drive I've installed pulses noisily at, say, a 100-cycles tone, around once per second. Also, the dynamics of said pulse actually increase or decrease depending on what I'm doing with my computer.

Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I've learned so much from you people over the last few weeks, so thanks!

I've seen a couple of posts elsewhere about the Apogee Mini-Me where users complained that their preamps are a little on the noisey side. Would users here agree that this is the case?

Hey everyone,

This is a post for all the techies out there:

I have a pair of AT40-40 mics that I used on a live recording of a choir and heard a large amount of hi end noise. I went into the room and heard the pipe organ billows making noise.
