I tested positive. Just got the notice about 12 hours ago. I've had symptoms since Friday early morning the 18th, I was pretty sure I had it, because of the symptoms I was experiencing, even if they were only mild symptoms. But, one symptom I do have is extreme weakness. There is no way...

I do want to make one point, since you are now thinking of just living with the hum. That might be out of disgust or humor, but either way, don't do it. There is a solution to this. BUT, you really have to look at it from the beginning. We're now hearing there is a new router? That wasn't in...

While all good suggestions, the OP has already said that he has a professional electrician doing all of the wiring. He also just recently added this area's own ground connection. We should hope this electrician knows his craft.

Not trying to give you guys any props, but you've had a few more years to get things right than we have, over here, in the states. But, I think he said both of his amps are humming. That could be just one amp causing the whole deal, though. And yes, it could be a transformer somewhere. I was...

So many things can cause a ground hum. Cheap power strips, running power cords too close to microphone or signal leads, house wiring issues and other things on the same breaker, causing issues, like light fixtures or similar. New space, you could have missed one of these wire issues, if you...

I have a lot of VSTs and with a controller and a good DAW I can have many of them in memory. With the touch of a button, I can add another layer to an already massive sound, or cut them all off except for a piano or quartet of strings. The pianos and strings are actual samples, so it's a great...

A little late into this thread, but such is life. I've noticed a ringing in my ears, but I'm of an age it will happen, so who knows. Just to put it out there, I've had a Chiropractor tell me it can sometimes be related to your neck vertebra and connected muscles. If you have a tense neck...

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but I think your SD card is dying. They aren't sealed from dirt like hard drives are and hard drives die every day. I'd do my best to get all of the files off of the SD card, put them somewhere on your computer, then get a new SD card and copy all of...

Sorry, if this isn't the place for this, or if keyboard repair isn't a thing that's talked about. But, I've been trying to find out if there is something simple that I can do to fix my Korg MS-20 synth. It's one of the originals, not a mini or one of the modular jobs. I've had it since 1980...

Has anybody thought about putting the cassettes in the dishwasher...or maybe the deck? :wtf: Sorry, just couldn't resist.:)

I still have one for cassette, but never really knew they even made them for 8-track. I guess they had to have them for the initial head setup at the factory, but I think they would have done better to make a better feed device, that didn't eat tapes.

Just an option, which might go along with the machine noticing the lack of proper tension in the tape and shutting off. Look at these three tapes and make sure the pad is under the tape, where it shows, between the two reels. They usually have it on a spring kind of thing, in more expensive...

Maybe arcing as you seem to understand it isn't the correct term. And I'm sure you're talking about basic dust and lint. But, when it's been there a while and things from an office atmosphere mix with fibers from some carpets, connections can be affected, from surface traces on the...

It looks like a new computer fixed the issue, but you still don't know what the cause was, do you? Just wondering if there was any dust inside the computer, clumping around components. I don't want to say this is the cause, but especially around capacitors, clumps of dust can end up arcing...

Don't worry. You can sing and you don't even need a bucket or a lid to carry the tune. I only heard minor pitch issues and I'm sure that was because you were playing at the same time. For recording purposes, that's not the best way to get a good track. Sure, playing live is sometimes...
