Hello there.
I'm having a bit of a puzzling problem, and this seemed like a good place to ask for possible solutions...
I'm getting a weird crackle/interference sound when I try to record an electric guitar from the direct output of a Line 6 Spider amp...
I'm using a Korg D12 (but only as a mixer) into a U-Control USB interface, recording into ACID 4. Now, when I plug the guitar straight into the Korg and use it's (admitedly crappy) amp simulator, the signal is crystal clear. But whenever I plug the Line 6 into the Korg's input I get this noise:
^ that was with the volume turned right down too!
If I just mic up the amp, again the signal is fine. And if I plug headphones into the Line 6, the signal is fine too. It's only when the Line 6 output touches the input of the Korg... I would just mic the thing up, but I'm recording late at night and my neighbour is a psychotic oddball.
So... does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? Some kind of interference from the laptop HD perhaps?? If so, what can I do to stop it?
Huge thanks in advance for any suggestions!
