    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    A brand new audio interface, really? I'm half tempted to return to hardware! Thanks for your help.

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    I brought in my laptop, in which I had installed Audacity and the drivers for my USB audio interface, plugged in the interface, recorded and still got white noise pushing past -12 db.

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    I just sent the headphones to the mixer (though it is unplugged from the wall and the computer) and I still have hiss. Not sure if that's exactly the scenario you described. Also, last night I took out the soundcard which I believe ruled out that it was a soundcard issue as I still have the...

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    Anyone else have any ideas about how to fix this situation? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using the audio interface, and not my soundcard at this point. Still white noise. I even unplugged my mic cable from the unit and still get white noise when I arm a track for recording.

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    I have a laptop. Headphones were in mixer originally. Now they r in audio interface. Could it be a cables issue? I'm running out of ideas! Thnx tho

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    I have looked at my levels like the screen shows. Nothing out of the ordinary. Remember that I bought an audio interface (Focusrite) now. The "Mary had" sample was recorded using the Focusrite. I'm eventually getting a new computer. The current one I have is about 7 years old or so. I'd pass...

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    I've been doing some additional trial&error: When I speak into the mic almost immediately after hitting record, the white noise registers at around -34 db. On the other hand, if I say nothing into the microphone, hit record and remain silent for 5-10 seconds, the white noise is through the...

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    I ended up buying a Focusrite Scarlett 2/4. I still have white noise. I've tried both my SM57 and my Shure condensor. Any suggestions?

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    In terms of Windows Sounds, is that as simple as the "adjust system volume"? If so, I can rule that out immediately as it is not 100%. Got any recommendations on the USB audio interface? I'd want my monitors to hook up to it. Thanks for the reply!

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    To add to this all: white noise even registers when I do not have anything plugged into the soundcard: main outs and cd/tape in. I get the same level of white noise. I simply record in a program like Audacity or Adobe with with Analog 1-2 (Mia MIDI) as my recording device.

    White Noise? Behringer into Echo Mia MIDI

    Hey folks, I'm trying to identify the culprit of what I can only guess is white noise. I've tried unplugging, rearranging chords, etc. Nothing has worked. I've attached a 4 second clip of what it sounds like when I amplify it 50 dbs. Normalizing it and it would peak! I use a small Behringer...

    Static/Hum From Behringer Mixer

    I've discovered the problem after reading through similar posts on this subject in which members suggested the sound card was the issue. In my case, there seems to be an issue with the wires connected to the soundcard. I unplugged the 1/4 inch cables from the sound card and plugged them back in...

    Static/Hum From Behringer Mixer

    To sum it up: I'm getting a static/hum through my mixer when I playback a recording. I've tried eliminating as much as I could to narrow this thing down, and the best I've come up with is even with phantom power off and no mic plugged into the mixer, once I normalize the audio track it is still...

    Vocal Effects Presets

    You know I noticed a few settings that had me thinking that {ReaComp working as both a compressor and hard limiter} was a possibility. Thanks for the settings. ---------- Update ---------- Will do. Thanks.

    Vocal Effects Presets

    Transferred a soft knee setting doing what you said, Farview...threshold, ratio attack and release. Sounds pretty good. But I still need an amplifier effect like hard limiting. Any ideas?

    Vocal Effects Presets

    Do you have any idea as to what would provide "Hard Limiting" in reaper? When comparing mixes, that seems to be what's missing in my Reaper mix.

    Vocal Effects Presets

    And I noticed. I've taken a look, and some of the settings from Adobe don't exactly--on the face of them--translate to the VSTs in Reaper. I'm going to give them a try, though. Thanks
