Well, I'm going to get a power conditioner today to see what happens. I have a feeling that it's going to solve the problem, because I also get alot of crackling when recording audio, and the crackling seems to intensify when more devices are running in the basement where my studio is set up. If the conditioner doesn't solve the problem, then I will start messing with the buffer size. Thanks Mike.

Try raising or lowering your buffer size, it's not an exact science, you just gotta experiment until the problem stops... If it's a static issue, perhaps your studio floor has a nylon carpet in it! This can be exacerbated by having a chair with castors on it, and I heard of some kinda plastic floor covering you can get which reduces the occurrence of this kind of interference! These are only suggestions, perhaps it's the cause of your problems, perhaps not...

Gord, I don't know if you remember, when you were here, you determined that this grounding noise was coming from the computer's soundcard, and that nothing could really be done about it. Whatever it is though is also coming out in the audio recordings. It's covered up when the beat is playing, but if there is a blank spot you can hear the noise in the background. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Omar Binno ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
