Clicks or pops I'd think clock issues.

sorry to be a total newbie but what are clock issues and how do i fix it?

Phase issues? You tried flipping the phase on one of the mics, or moving them around a bit?

 

[dvon1981]

the noise occurs even when only using one mic. I'm going to try and sit with the manuals for a few hours but i really have no idea where to start.

How are you getting the mic ontp your computer? Which mic are you using?

This could be a mic-preamp problem, or just a noisy hardware issue.

 

[dvon1981]

the preamp is an edirol ur80

mics are a pair of mxl 603's
i threw on a copy of cool edit and it recorded flawlessly but when i try sonar it sounds aweful. So it is something with the software settings i assume. i really have no idea though.

Put up a sample of what it sounds like

I'm almost certain it is machine noise. I get the same thing but it doesn't record well... plus consitering my noise floor is around -72Db to -76Db.... it doesn't show up much.

I think most of mine is due to my monitor signals...

bump.
Dvon, any headway yet?

Do you have two sound cards? If you do disable one so there's no conflict.
