Hi all !
(I first posted this in the "Recording techniques" forum but it might not have been the best place...)
I recently bought a second-hand mic M-audio Luna, and just performed the first tests with it. And a strange noise is annoying me... I have a M-audio fast track pre-amp and record on Garage-band on my 13'' MacBook Pro.
I have recorded the noise for you to listen. In the first half, it is very strong because I touch the stand, shockmount and XLR cable alternatively, and this actually enhances the noise (what do you think of that by the way?). In the second half, you can hear the high pitch noise when the stand etc are left still.
The gain was 50% but does not affect the strength of the noise. +6dB was added in mixing.
Do you think it is due to the mic? Or the pre-amp?
Thanks in advance!
Quentin
