Cubase Static

When I open up Cubase (SX 1), I get a small amount of noise coming out of my monitors. I'm running an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 PCI. Whether there is a Cubase file loaded or not, I get noise coming out.

Anyone had this problem before, or does anyone know how to get rid of it. It's starting to annoy me. It's kind of like tape noise.

Cheers.

weird!

i was going to say its probably a plugin doing it, because i get that problem EVERY time i reinstall (annoying!), but you obviously don't have any loaded. is it a cracked copy? thats all i can think of.

...maybe try sx2/3

Clean copy. Don't think upgrading is gonna help either. I don't remember this always being noticeable.

All I can think of is that it's maybe an analog line-in from your soundcard/s. Cubase may be un-muting it when it opens.

i get interference in my monitors too but mines from my graphics card, you can hear the pitch of the hiss change when more colours are having to load in on the screen (opening new windows etc). After doin some research and asking my college mates i found some people had the same issue, have no idea how to get rid of it though. its not loud just really irritating.

play around with the monitor cable, it is possible that the problem is there, try pushing it into the speaker, or up, down.... you get the picture. If this is the problem, use duck tape or scotch tape to hold the cable.

You shouldn't have any noise comming from your monitors. I have two sets of monitors and i dont get any noise commign from them.

I know one set of monitors that picks up radio stations and all types of noises

Try swapping monitor cables and just pan the monitors left and right to see if it one side or both.

Also try re-seating your soundcard graphics card incase that could be the problem.

Mute any controls in your sound card prefs that your not using, do you have anything else plugged in that may be introducing noise?

It could be the monitors becouse i know b truth monitors has some problems with picking up radio stations and noise.

Are you loading up a template that contains plug-ins? For some reason, everytime I load up BBE Sonic Maximizer on a new insert, it makes a really loud popping noise and ONLY does it when newly inserted. Maybe you're having the same issue with another plug-in???

Two possibilities:

1. You've got monitoring enabled on one of your inputs and it's noisy. Open up the mixer with no project loaded, there should only be a few channels and you should be able to identify pretty quickly which one (if any) that the noise is coming from.

2. One of your plugins is misbehaving. You might not actually have any instances open, but they do get to initialize themselves during startup (that's why you sometimes see activation screens on the first run while the Cubase splash screen is still up), so maybe one of them is acting funny. Try just renaming the entire plugins folder so nothing loads at all, that should tell you pretty quickly if a plugin is doing it.
