I don't remember if it's been asked and eliminated... Have you confirmed what ever noise ("static"?) isn't coming from the instrument? -rather than the a result of the recording?
The second one (With DI.mp3) doesn't have any noise at all, compared to other files you've uploaded.
I'm still bothered about the gain set to zero on the Presonus. It shouldn't be recording anything! What is the input level measured at the DAW when your fader for those channels is set at zero (centered)?
The -20dB one sounds like it was recorded too low, so you should have raised the gain at the Presonus to create a signal averaging -12dB with -6dB peaks, while your fader is centered - just a rule of thumb, of course, but the idea is to have the levels right at the right place. The -20dB one suggests that something's wrong with your gain staging, IMO. I'd try to get that to work, instead of working with a gain of zero at the Presonus, if possible, at least.
It's a brand new instrument (bought 2 weeks ago) so I assumed not or at least very unlikely. would not even know how i would go about testing it though?
It actually does have a little bit of noise, so I think the question is whether it's the Nord or Presonus preamps. No way I can tell from here. The only way to know for sure at this point is to substitute either a different keyboard or interface.I turned the dial to middle for inst 1 and 2 and instead set master level from piano higher. As a result I am getting -17 average signals with -6 peaks which is around what you said.
But yeah,, I am still getting static noise. You noted that With DI.mp3 did not have any noise at all but I just compared with one of the first ones and for me the static level is about the same.
Below is recorded at 20dB attenuation, 2ch, gnd, middle faders on Presonus. Not quite sure what the "main" knob does. I just turn that one all the way to left (doesn't seem to make any difference)
Plug the analog outs direct to some speakers, or the keyboard's headphone out, would eliminate 'recording caused problems.

Please define 'static'.
**I may be hearing some 'saturation like artifacts, particularly in the first half -actually the lower volume parts. ... **Added later; Certainly not as clear and open' as the one youtube demo I clicked on.
(I say maybe as I noticed it on the speakers, but not my headphones.)
'static.. I think 'crackles' -sharp noises. Not hearing that.
"staticky hum noise" now.
I'm out.
lol. You dont have to be so passive aggressive about this. I posted many recordings here and if you are asking what "static" noise I am referring to, then I think you may have hearing problems at that point, or just didnt give the mp3s a listen. I don't want to start anything. I apologize if my lack of technical knowledge and jargon was bothersome for you.
Keyboards head phone out is SO clear. Like clearer than any recording i have done. ZERO staticky hum noise whatsoever.
Hello All,
I have a setup where I have an audio interface (Presonus Audiobox USB) where I connect Left Out and Right Out of my Nord Piano 3 Keyboard to its Mic, Instrument Input (1,2 on the image below).
View attachment 101108
The cable I am using to connect the two:
Amazon.com: Hosa CPP-201 Dual 1/4 inch TS to Dual 1/4 inch TS Stereo Interconnect Cable, 3.3 feet: Musical Instruments
I tried recording the sound today using Logic Pro, and I am getting a small background noise in the recording. I have attached my recording below. I play the same song 3 times, each time adjusting the knobs on the audio interface (last one has all the knobs turned down all the way to the left).
I have 48v phantom power off as well.
I don't think knobs are the problem and I am just stuck.
Am i always expected to have this kind of background noise? Or is there a way for me to get rid of them?
Thank you !
The two inputs are probably not compatible.
One is for a microphone, the other for an instrument. Different impedances, I would guess.
I know that was stated early on, but I want to confirm. Is it not true that if a line output is reduced to match the inst input's acceptable level, not a 'mismatch at all. It represents a transparent low source-to-high impedance load?A DI is connected to a Microphone input, thats what they are used for to convert an unbalanced line to the balanced XLR. Thats why at the beginning of this thread we told said not to connect a line to the instrument input of the Presonus. Have you read this thread from the start?
Alan.
