Hey guys,

I'm wondering if someone can help me out with a problem I'm having. Basically, I'm getting interference from something (even with just the e-mu tracker pre plugged in with no cable/mic). I've recorded and uploaded it so you can hear what I'm hearing:

this new place i got has,i would say possibly destructive static electricity. enough sometimes to send a loud spike through the PA when i move the master sliders.i tried a humidifier..doesn't seem to help.

some computer specs:

windows xp media edition
stock network card
seasound soloist pci soundcard

weird problem:

This is really worrying me because I dont really know what the problem could be! I'll explain. The way that I record my guitars is by direct input. Direct input as in I take my guitar cable, plug it into a quarter inch jack, then plug it into my audio interface. That's really the only way I can do it because I just cant afford to upgrade right now.

Hi,

When attempting to track into Reaper with an SM57 through an Echo AudioFire4 interface, anything I play is completely distorted and fuzzy.

The levels during recording look fine.

This seems to happen only when the device is set to ASIO. When it's set to WaveOut, I don't have the problem.

I have all the latest drivers installed.

Any ideas?

I was recording on a 2.6ghz PIV computer with a PCI firewire card and a PreSonus Firebox. It worked fine but the CPU was often overtaxed and gave me some clicks or pops. I just "upgraded" to a much more powerful computer. I ditched the whole hard drive with Vista installed, installed a new hard drive and put Windows XP on it. I'll try to arrange some sort of dual boot thing later on.

I need some serious help with this! Let me give you a little background and setup info first. I just got thrown into working the sound system at our Church. We just moved to a larger building and were just give a decent sound system. We have a Behringer PMP2000 mixer, two Kustom 215's, a Wireless Audio-Techna Headset Mic, and we are using a laptop to play the music and do our recording.

I have a very nice acoustic guitar track that I put down, but it has a small 1 or 2 second segment with some intermittent static (I think it came from the pickup jack).

I can easily re-record it, of course, but I'd really like to know how I can clean it up. What would be the technique for getting rid of static from a music track?

Thanks

Hello everyone, I have another problem for you! So, I am running my guitar totally clean straight into my PC through a firewire interface, and using only some VST plugins for guitar amp emulation, and an EQ and what not.

ISSUES
- you have random 'audible artifacts' while operating your DAW
- artifacts include stuttering, static, popping, or white noise
- intermittent noise from your gear seems unprofessional
- interferes with your concentration
