hey everyone! i just recently setup my home studio in a different room in my apartment and now im getting a weird hum/noise through my monitors, but it only occurs when my computer is under stress/under load. for instance if i close my sequencer and just have my computer on idle, i hear no sort of noise, but even when i drag a file w/ the mouse, i hear a weird hum. the most noticable time it happens is when im using a lot of vst instruments and effects in my sequencer, there appears to be a weird hum constantly coming out of the monitors. even if i mute the channel that the output from my audio interface is going to, i still hear the hum. i didnt have this problem before and i cant figure out what the problem is. the conclusion i came to is the fact that i have everything (computer, monitor, studio monitors, mixer, podxt, and keyboard) all plugged into a simple power strip. but the only problem is, thats what i was using before and never had this problem. i was going to go buy one just to see if that was the problem, but i wanted to know if anyone knew of any other problems. just for reference my setup consists of a daw, an unbalanced mixer, yamaha keyboard, podxt, and the monitors. everything is connected through unbalanced connections, which i know can cause a lot of noise to occur esspecially with bad cable management, but its just weird cuz that problem didnt exist before. so any suggestions would be great. thanks !
