Yup,
Well, on a budget is going to be tough.
When I first built my studio up, 60 cycle drove me nuts.
My advice is experiment.
For example,
* try to avoid running audio cables along side ac power in parallel.
* Stay balance audio everywhere if you can afford it.
* Experiment with ground wires from power conditioners or outlet
strips to real ground like water pipes etc. You'll need to do this
with headphones on and with nothing except white noise in them.
This approach ought to keep you busy for like weeks.
It's all about eliminating ground loops.
And after all that, you might be lucky enough to reduce your noise
maby 20 to 30 percent.
Unless you are willing to dig in with a bunch of money and as DJX said
an expert, you may have to work around noise as well as incorporate a
good noise reduction plug-in to help.
There are a number of good ones like Cedar, Isotope etc.

already stated you can't change, the building's electrical, you would be
better off consulting with someone who is experienced in studio set up, and
can help you work on your particular setup. V

Subject: [ddots-l] Power distribution on a budget
Hello all,
Can any of you recommend good publications I can read on the subject of
power distribution in the recording studio?
I'm not formally trained as an engineer and often find myself perplexed and
frustrated in my efforts to eliminate stray fields that cause the dreaded
60Hz hum. Unfortunately though, I am not in the position to change the
building architecture, including redesigning the house electrical system.
So, I'm hoping there is an affordable way to isolate the room I have set up
as a studio.
Warm regards,
Fran Franks
