Hey, thanks for reading. I've had my setup for a while and had this issue here and there where this static sound would appear in my recordings, no matter if it were drums or guitar or vocals. It would appear and disappear (seemingly) randomly, and I was hoping you guys could help me figure out where I'm going wrong, or if there's something that is screwed it. I'm positive it's not clipping, neither my sound board nor audacity register anything beyond a slight bump in the microphone levels when I play any music....drums being the exception at 1/5 the way up the bar. I had to get my soundboard replaced, and actually received a version of the soundboard which also gave the option of USB input, although I haven't tried that yet and don't have the correct cable to do so. Had the problem back on my other soundboard as well, as far as my memory serves me.
View attachment Guitar static issue, guitar picking starts at 2 22.mp3 Here is a clip I recorded, which you can immediately hear the static sound, and after the first little solo on the guitar it really kicks in. About 2/3 through the clip, I stop playing the rhythm background and just keep soloing (it's a two track song that I put together real quick, haha please ignore the fact the two tracks aren't completely in-sync
)
Like I said, I've had some songs where I don't get it at all, although most of the time i get at least a fifth of the song, if not half, including that static sound. There are absolutely no effect added besides compression on the solo parts to help bring them out where you can hear them
.
Thanks again for reading, hopefully you guys can help. Personally I'm thinking that there's some sort of electromagnetic interference, however when thinking that to myself it sounds a bit far-fetched
Sincerely,
~Brent
