Hello all,
I have this strange static showing up on some of my recordings. It is not consistent, and it doesn't sound like this out of the speakers, only in the recording. I have attached a sample to see if anyone can help me identify the static / distortion. This is a short sample from a 37 minute long recording session. The first 20 minutes are fine, the last 17 sound like this.
It happened a few weeks ago, so I increased my audio buffer size (based on some forum reading), and then it was good for two weeks. Then this week, it happened again. Any help / ideas will be welcome.
We used to do all of this on a Mac, and never had any issues. Recently built a new PC for this function, and this has started happening since then. I am certain that it's some setting in Reaper that I need to change, but I have no idea what.
Allen Heath Qu-32 connected to computer via USB.
Reaper recording 8 tracks of audio from 8 AISO inputs from the board.
Computer is Windows 10 - Core i9 - 64GB RAM - Storage is RAID10 on 4 WD-Black SSD's.
I do not want to have a mac vs pc debate. I do not want a lot of ideas on noise filters. I do not want to debate recording software or hardware. I want assistance in determining why this happens, and what settings can be adjusted to prevent this from happening in the future.
Thank you in advance,
