gimmi your mic!
hi fellas --

I was recording vocals last night, using an AT4047 and a Focusrite Green channel strip. Unfortunately I noticed after the session that there is an annoying high ring tone in the tracks! I played around with my seetings after the session and noticed that the ring tone disappears when I disable the compressor on the channel strip. Fortunately I can eq the ring tone out by inserting a high cutoff at about 10kHz. If I use the same setting with my Neumann KM184, there's no ring tone. Strange.

Do you have any idea what could have caused the ring tone?
 
Do you have a clip of the tone? Secretly I just want to hear the 4047 and Focusrite, but I'll try and help out aswell ;) My only suggestion is that it could be caused by some sort of feedback or electromagnetic interaction. I dunno though
 
I'll post a clip later tonight.

It could be electrostatic hum or something like that. I don't think its feedback coz we were tracking with closed headphones in an acoustically treated room.
 
The 4047 has a tranny in it. Maybe some kind of ompedence mismatch?
