Placing the phone on an anti-static bag blocks the interference. Those bags that computer parts, memory, hard drives, etc. come in. It doesn't have to be in it and you can set it right on a guitar head.

But yeah, turning that crap off is better.
 
Hell then ...... we have to start spreading the word cell phones will no longer be tolerated around live and recording gear or face the sh!t storm consequences! :rolleyes:







:cool:
 
I remember in the mid 90s just as mobile phones were really taking off here, if I was on a bus listening to my walkman, I'd always know when someone's phone was going to go off because there would be this weird "chakara~chakara~chakara" sound in my headphones or earbuds.
A couple of months back, I was recording a friend singing and she kept stopping to text. It was getting kind of wearing ! We were doing a song ostensibly about a space invasion and as she began the third verse, her mobile made this noise to tell her she had a text. But it was a happy accident and I kept it on her vocal track. Sounded oddly appropriate........
Kind of off topic, but the most common noise when I record are my drumming friends moving on the seat when a track has finished and you need like 20 seconds silence. I always motion to them to keep still but they just can't seem to !

Yes! I run into that all the time. Even worse is when they set their sticks down on the snare right after the very last cymbal hit.
 
I DON"T BELIEVE IT!!!
A friend of mine invited me to outdoor show for a end of summer type concert to check them out and help tweak the sound for them with their new FOH guy.

The first thing was the guitarist put his cell phone right on his amp along with his favorite brew....two big mistakes.

Then the FOH guy used his cell for play back with itunes :spank: that was identifiable right of the bat with the noise coming through the PA.


What is this world coming to? <shaking head> :(
