Hey guys, i apologize first off for my noob-level terminology and understanding.
I have a SP B1 microphone and a Tube MP pre-amp. The only sound treatment i have is a SE Space Reflexion filter. This goes to my xenyx Q802usb mixer. Its built in audio interface goes straight to my emachine (cheap model).
My trouble is i keep getting a lot of white noise or buzzing. I have no understanding of how to set up the mic as far as eq, and gain control. the mixer has a gain knob, compression knob, high med and low eq, fx knob, pan knob, and fader or volume control (in that order). I don't know if there is a process of setting those. I tried just going down the channel and moving each knob until it sounded better then moving on to the next one but i never made any progress. the only thing that helped was turning the gain or volume until the noise disappeared. then my recordings were really quiet. I'm sorry guys, this is probably general knowledge since I've looked all over the internet on how to do this and haven't found anything. so if there is a link to a tutorial or something like that, that would be awesome. or am i doing this right and just have hard ware issues??
Any Feedback helps Thanks!!
