Re: Weird Noise in Only Some Situations!

... the weird thing is the sound cards don't make that noise when they're connected to my iMac while nothing is connected to their inputs. So it looks like they behave differently in almost the same circumstances! Not weird at all. With nothing connected to the inputs, the connectors act as aerials...

Re: Weird Noise in Only Some Situations!

Inputs can pick up significant noise if they aren’t connected. You don’t record with nothing connected to an input. Your lowest noise on a mic input will be measured with a 300 ohm resistor connected between pins 2 and 3 of an XLR cable. But shorting those pins to ground (pin 1) will give a very si...

Re: Weird Noise in Only Some Situations!

...Although the noise is very quiet(-95dB) it is increased with preamp gain boost. What do you think I'm missing here? Maybe that -95db below FS is more than good enough for many situations. Preamps make noise. Noise doesn't have to be totally eliminated. It has to be seen in context and managed de...

Are these mic inputs or line inputs?

Is anything connected to the inputs?

What's the noise like with a cable connected and the signal connections shorted to ground?

Nothing is connected to inputs. Can you please explain your last question more?

Thanks, but unfortunately he brought his laptop to my studio and we re-tested everything, but the noise is still there!

Weird Noise in Only Some Situations!

Hello every body, My friend has this high pitched noise on inputs of 3 different interfaces with 3 different mac/win-laptop/iMac computers(all cross-tested with even different cables). Some sound cards are bus powered and some work with their respective power adapter... https://drive.google.com/file...

Mackie MCU pro faders glitch

Hi there! :wave: So the two expansions of my MCU pro are making noises, can't initialize properly and don't follow software fader position. I once had the same problem and somebody changed a fader for me but it was really expensive and far from me... I'm thinking if there's anything I can do with my...

Re: If no label, then what?

Very nice tips. Thank you all very much. Do you guys want to give me a kick-off point if I want to go with the no label option? I know you can say google but I'm thinking maybe you could give me some initial speed!

If no label, then what?

Hi there, I came across this tip: 51. Don’t waste your time with labels, you’ll only be disappointed in this article: https://www.edmprod.com/100-essential-tips/ It's an awesome article so far, but I can't figure out what this 51 guy tries to imply. I thought artists have to attract labels to cooper...

Re: A compressor with 2 inputs!

Why not just mix the two signals together and feed that into the sidechain? The compressor will then respond to the combined signal levels. If that won't work - what's the use case that you're trying to achieve? I Think you gave me the proper answer. I planned to reduce my vocals on kicks, but only...
