Great! Audio interfaces do have much better sound and low noise compared to the USB A/D converter as Jimmy said though.... It is great you are able to lower the noise floor! You can also use a noise gate in the DAW software if you hear the noise floor...

What Jimmy says ^ Unfortunately there are reviews on Amazon that says your usb mixer hisses. Recommend decent audio interface instead like Jimmy said. UR22, Scarlett 2i2, Presonus maybe- read all the reviews.

Put your headphones into the mixer and turn things down until the hiss goes away...

Post your gear make models and connection info- be specific about your ins and outs...

Turn the gain down too- mine is a hot mic- doesn't take too much gain to overload it. You'll probably have to do some reading on proper db levels for your mixer inputs and outputs to narrow down the problem. So try turning the gain down on the gain/fader/monitor/stereo out etc. and read up on...

Is it picking up something? My AT 2035 is so sensitive it will pick up my computer fan and hiss like the cat is after it...

+1 for Reaper. As a new person learning, Reaper seems more intuitive to me and places commonly used (important) controls where I can find them. Also tried Ableton, Cubase... I can use those also (clunkily) but always come back to Reaper. Personal pref. as Rami says. 2 centavos.

Looks the same to me except in the first scenario you are going through the external AND mixer pre (depends on your line in channel might just have a fader). Second scenario you just use the mixer pre.

Thanks for all the inputs. Lots to try here. Ash- you're right about the copyright infringe... I don't do that- no worries. Just playing along with some backing tracks for my own practice- playing and recording... learning the ropes.

Is Edgar and Johnny (Winter) in that video?

So I guess my problem is that I wasn't recording the computer track FIRST and then the other tracks. I will run the monitor cables back to the interface- record the computer track, then the instruments.... Will try this. Thx.

I didn't know I was going to run into so many issues when I started reading about how to go about this... All I wanted to do was play a guitar/sing over a internet sourced streaming backing track and record it (for practice). I learned so far: 1) Windows 7 removed the "stereo mix" (also known...

Used this to practice my blues scale in G on the guitar last night... worked well... I am guessing I was in the correct key... sounded ok anyway :)

I keep wanting to hear a blues guitar riff in the background- good job.

Thanks, this all helps...I will look into modding my computer then. I think I will start with one noiseless fan and see how quiet it gets and go from there. Appreciate the ideas.

On my yamaha mixer white is left/ red is right.

I have a pretty noisy fan on my computer. Anyone get any low noise fans or put their computer behind a sound deadening box? Curious to see if anyone has tried anything to do anything about a noisy computer fan in their recording room. My dynamic mics don't pic it up but the condenser does. I...

Recording sounds pretty clean.

1) With 24 bit recording (what the Roland does) you can have low levels of recording and still master them up nicely in DAW software. -18db or so. 2) The gain on your computer soundcard is probably turned up in your computer (windows) settings causing distortion there. Plus if it is a regular...

1)Try selecting your Yamaha as the default playback device in Windows 2) Check and see if Cubase is monitoring what you are trying to listen to. 3) Make sure (as noted above) the yamaha playback device is selected in the cubase setup (ASIO) driver section
