Heya guys,
I have a Samson C01 condensor mic, running into a Behringer tube ultra gain preamp, and then into my Edirol USB recorder.
When i record, I am using a pretty sound proofed room, and the computer outside in the other room, well away from the mic. When you stand in the room, with the mic, you can hardly hear any outside noises from anything.
I seem to not be able to run my gains very high at all.. I'm running like, 10% sensitivity on my Edirol unit, and 10% on both the gain and output of the behringer. I also run a -6.0db level on the track i'm recording in Cubase.
My problem is, that any more gain than this on any gain adjustment, and I get a bad background noise. Noticible in my recordings.
Is this meant to happen? How do you guys get a decent signal without getting the hiss/constant droning noise?
Any hints/tips appreciated,
Chris
