I'm trying my first digital home recording to capture my sons' piano recitals. I'm using my notebook computer to record througha USB mixer and am recording clicking sounds that apear to be the seeking of hard disk as it writes. Anyone know how to stop this?
Here's my set up:
Baby grand acoustic piano
Sincle Octave MK 219 mic (recording a single mono track)
Tascam US 122 mixer
Dell Lattitude D600 notebook
Using the bundeled Cubasis VST
running in XP Professional
on Pentium 4 1600, 512 RAM, 30GB HD 82% free space
There is no built-n mic on the computer and it is not coming through the Octava because I have moved 20 feet away from the mic.
Result is pretty good quality reproduction except for this intermittent but continuous click-click that seems to match the periodic movement of the hard disk heads. This is part of the digital recording because it also can be heard when I play the file back on my desktop computer.
Any ideas? Thanks!
