Hi, I posted this under "recording techniques" but that thread has kind of died so Im trying again here.
my setup is
Windows XP
Delta Audiophile 2496
Sonar 2.2
Studio Projects VTB1- (preamplifier)
Studio Projects C1 (microphone)
When I try to record, I hear this staticlike sound that reminds me of ocean waves. Sometimes when I arm the track I'm recording with, the decibel level doesn't fluctuate depending on how much noise there is, it stays constant regardless. Other times though it crazily fluctuates and even clips even though there is no noise to cause the fluctuation/clipping.
How can I figure out what is wrong? is it a setting in the soundcard's control panel, something wrong with some hardware, a setting in Sonar...
any help is appreciated,
thanks
