I've been learning about Audacity and the importance of a -60 DB noise floor when it comes to recording voice over.
Problem is, recently, my noise floor likes to hover over -57 DB when I have my Focusrite plugged in.
I thought it was the microphone, but the problem persists when the mic is disconnected.
Whether or not the Focusrite box is on, despite turning the gain down as low as humanly possible, my noise floor is stuck at -57 DB.
So, do I have to change the mic, the box, and/or the cables? I really hope this is a minor problem, because I don't have a warranty and I'd hate to have to spend $300 to fix this.
