While mixing some of my music, occasionally I will notice that the vertical position of an instrument has changed in the stereo field. This is particularly noticeable with drums. With everything panned dead center, sometimes the drums will sound like they are below everything else, sometimes...

The RODE NT1-A made a massive difference. I've got the 10db pad turned on the Saffire 6 XLR input, with the gain set to 2 (probably going to try 3), but now, rather than getting tremendous white noise I get a small bit of room noise, primarily from my computer. I've been working on making my...

Thanks, yeah that's a bummer. I purchased it September 28th, 2010, so less than a year ago. The issue has existed since I purchased it, but being new to these things it didn't start to occur to me that the noise shouldn't be so high until recently. I've just been using a gate to minimize it...

Yeah, most of my individual tracks are well below even -6 db peak. It's when I get to the master bus that I add the maximizer which gives a little boost too everything and then limits the peaks at 0 db. :( I ordered a rode NT1-A last night.

Just some other notes that may or may not be helpful for troubleshooting... The audio interface does not make any white noise when playing anything that was not recorded with it. So iTunes sounds fine being played through the audio interface, soft synths in Cubase don't generate any white noise...

Thanks Alan. After reading that thread, and I may have not understood it correctly, I tried a few things hoping that I could discern for certain that it is a ground loop issue. 1. I removed my studio monitors from the equation entirely, unplugging them from the audio interface and the wall...

Saffire 6 USB noise: EIN > 120dB (measured with 50dB of gain with 150 Ohm termination (20Hz/22kHz bandpass filter) It looks like the Lexicon I-ONIX U22 may have a better noise rating, but I don't know enough about these ratings to know if it would make a significant difference for me: -125 dBu...

I just tested to see what my noise level is with my VSTs on that I am using, with the Saffire 6 set to 7.5 gain, and no mic plugged in. The noise level is -56 db. I would probably be happy with anything under -85 db. Note that my trying to get 0db volume might be high, but even if I were aiming...

This is my first post here. I am using a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB audio interface, Shure SM57, Cubase 5, and Windows 7 64 bit. My Focusrite USB ASIO Drivers are set at 44100 kHz 24bit . I have the Focusrite USB Driver v1.9 installed. In Cubase, with my input set to 0 db, my vocal track set to...
