Hi Mark,

Is it a static sound or digital noise?

Sometimes when using mixers with laptops you may experience constant intermittent digital noise, this sometimes can be sorted with a "Ground Loop Isolator." Simply plug your mixer out cables into the female phonos on the Ground Loop Isolator then plug the Ground Loop Isolator into the line in on the sound card.

They are not too expensive, around £14 UK.

Subject: [ddots-l] Recording with laptop


Hello folks.
Here's the problem.
I have a friend who has just a laptop and a mackie 8 channel mixer.
She has only a mic input on the laptop.
The audio siggnel is too hot.
She did perchased a u s b sound card that has a line in jack.
When she records using the line in there is a static sound she can't get
rid of.
I believe the sound card is bad.
The mic input on the laptop itself is ok, except too hot.
My question is, is there such a thing as an audio cable that would restrict
the audio level?
I had her to turn down the mic input on the laptop but with no results.
Any ideas would be welcome.

Cheers!

Mark
