scottshields35 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 HI I am an experienced music composer with an irritating problem (quite embarrassing really that I can't seem to fix it). When plugging electric guitars or basses into my rig which is a UAD apollo into logic pro, sometimes via an Avalon 737, I have an annoying high frequency signal noise that I cant get rid of. It leaves it's mark on every recording I do in this way. I've tried DI boxes with ground lift, different guitars/basses, cables, leads, different positions in the room etc. I can gate it out but that's no good when you want a nice open sustaining sound for example. There are no fluorescent lights only mains lighting and a low voltage lamp but the noise is there whether the lamp is on or off. This noise has been the same wherever I have my rig, different studios etc. Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of this? The path is clean when using mics it only happens with instruments with pic ups. Thanks Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If the noise happened in different studios then it's an issue with your instruments. Do you use active pickups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksimon Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 In the spirit of "one audio clip says more than five (*annoying high frequency signal noise*) words", could you perhaps upload an audio clip of the sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
