Could use some help !
I'm using a Presonus Blue Tube to a Ebtech hum eliminator into the RCA sound inputs on a Macintosh A/V to record in Cubase and still hearing considerable HUM when monitoring guitar or Microphone. (Mic: Shure BG-4.1) The system a/c is run through a PowerVar professional power conditioner, I have taken a number of other steps to prevent 60hz hum.
A friend told me that I was never going to get a clean audio input signal unless I use an external mixer or work surface with a SPdif or USB or fire wire, etc. for interface and that going direct was not an option.
Am I completely clueless here? Or is there hope for me? Obviously, I'm on a budget. This is only a hobby project, I'm not trying to be the next Quincy Jones.
I have worked with the Berhinger 6 chnl. mixer and it seemed noisy-hissy to me. What do you think is the least expensive means of getting clean audio with my system. The midi sound and internal digital audio editing functions are perfectly clear, the only glitch left is this input hum thing.
I truly would appreciate any tips that you guys could lay on me. You have a great BBoard here, I'm glad I finally found it. Thanks.
