So, my sound card ought to have a n2s ratio in the area of -85db, but when I record, I see that i have noise at around -60db. This noise is present all the time, no matter if the mixer is on or not. I have come to the conclusion is is electronic noise and that the card is not properly shielded.
As much as I would like to own and Aardvark, I simply cannot afford any other card and so I had an idea...I could add shielding myself! Why not, people do these sorts of things all the time. Aluminum should work, I think.
My question is, where do I install it? Over the inputs ( I use the line in) or should I shield the entire card? Or, maybe it is simply not possible and I should just continue to save for my new card and make do with -60d noise....
What do you all think?
