Greetings fellow producers! I have been slowly setting up a home bedroom studio (apartment) and I have been battling ALOT of AC line noise that is somewhat manageable with my mics and clean tone guitars but if I introduce overdrive then it just becomes unbearable. I have separated ac power cables from audio cables the best the space will allow. I have tried ferrite chokes (ckoked 3 of them furry sumbitches and NOTHING) jk. I've tried humX. I've tried various ground loop isolators and I have everything running through a Furman m-8x2 that supposedly has AC filtering in it.
My question for YOU is ........ What next? Do I need a higher end version of my furman? is there something else in the audio device world that will help? Do I need to be looking at hardware and electrical stores for some sort of device to give better filtration? Please help, I'm at wits end with it. Please respond if you have overcome this issue and if so, how? Is this a $5,000 problem or $500 problem? and before the sarcastic "just move to house" or "have your landlord rewire your apartment" start rolling in I ask for realistic feedback only
