Im having a bad problem with a buzz/hum in my studio. The studio is in the basement of my house. The problem comes only on guitars and amps and through P.A.monitor speakers if i set up for band rehearsal ( not my studio reference speakers).Microphones are not affected I can record live accoustic drum tracks and vocal tracks all day long and it does not affect my computer or my firewire mixing console. At first i thought it was electrical because the house was built in the late 60s. I had an electrician here all day. We tried it from almost every outlet in the house. Checked for proper grounding. Even ran a new line with a new outlet from the breaker box, shut all the other breakers off everything in the house was dead except the new line Still had the buzz. Took the guitar and amp to the neighbors house and plugged it in still had the buzz. We have a city power substation about a half mile behind us and a lot of power lines running beside the house. Im wondering if im getting some sort of outside interference from that that is drawn or magnitized to guitar pickups and speakers. Has anyone heard or had this problem before. HELP PLEASE!!! Thanks!!!
