mcca6392 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I was trying to record some acoustic solos last night, just with a cheapie computer mic. I noticed when I was playing the files back once uploaded, that there was a bit of motor noise on the track - albeit the mic wasn't close to the unit at all.I'm assuming this was simply because of a p!$$-poor mic, but just in case it's not, has anyone else had this sort of thing happen?

sebastianbf Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I only had this problem when the mic was near the unit. Try another mic and put it far from unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaikenTana Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) I get this when in a room that has lots of electro-magnetic fields (ie electronic devices.) When I record sounds in a room, I turn off everything at the wall and bam problem solved.. I guess this is completely useless for someone like you who records band practice...The noise could be from your mic. However, if it's a low buzzing noise, it's something else.My only solution would be to buy a power source for your mics so you're no longer getting power from the MD (possibly eliminating the noise problem and saving batter power of the MD at the same time). I'm thinking about getting a Battery Box myself. It provides a perfectly ideal 9 volts of power to plug-in power mics. I think that'll solve this whole buzz noise thing.
