I have started to use my laptop instead of my PC to record onto. I'm using exactly the same set-up as before, with the same equipment.
As soon as I use anything which involves a kettle lead, this creates loud distortion. I have every combination I can think of in terms of switching leads on different piece of hardware but nothing makes any difference. As soon as the kettle lead is pulled out, the noise stops. It's particularly annoying as it means I can't use my Mackie mixer which is powered with a kettle lead.
I can only assume it's something to do with the laptop.
Any ideas why this might be happening and how to get around it? Thanks.
