Hello
I need your help.
I noticed that in my current setup there is too many white noises coming out of my speakers.
Here is my setup:
soundcard Muadio Audiophile 2496 this is connected with the mixer Mackie VLZ3-402 with RCA Cables IN/OUT
MidiIN/OUT from soundcard to Hardware synth,
Hardware synth is connected to Mackie with 14/inch l/r into 1/4inch input for channel 3/4.
Monitor speakers (yamaha msp5) connected XLR from speakers and 1/4 inch into the mixer.
Now what I noticed:
1.Unplugged everything from mixer and connected only monitors, when I put volume to the maximum in the mixer and in the speakers there is white noise but when I turn it down to 1/3 volume of the speakers and stay still on maximum in the mixer its noticeable but its very quiet so I guess its alright?
2. When I plug my h/w synth into the mixer white noise increase to more noticeable level but when I play on h/w synth of course I don't hear it, should there be any noise at all??
3.Connecting RCA output from mixer to RCA inputs in sound card - no changes its the same as in point 1.
4. Connecting RCA input in mixer to RCA output from sound card - no changes until I press button assign to main (its in that mackie mixer tape in must be assigned to main to hear any sound from RCA input) and after pushing that button there is a lot noises and added buzzing sound! I switched cables and its always the same so cables wouldn't be an issue.
5. This point is very weird for me ,line in 1 and line in 2 even when are not plugged to anything when increasing gain and volume makes lots of white noises by itself, wtf?
Last thing , when I want record audio from h/w synth into DAW even when I put volumes almost to the maximum audio is recorded very quiet. |

| Hey guys - any Audiophile 2496 owners here? I've been trying to help drogtech via PMs, but I'm not familiar with this soundcard. |

| I'm guessing you need a power conditioner. |

Is there any way to confirm that before spending extra money?? |

If the monitors themselves buzz without being connected to anything else, but still turned on. |

From what youve written it looks like its the mixer that inducing noise in the system?
Can you just go from the soundcard directly to the monitors and see if there is any noise?? |

Ok there are some news in my case, I unplugged all power adaptors and plug one by one, I noticed that when I plugged computer screen and pc was ok but after plugged speakers there where buzz sound so I put computer and screen on one power strip and monitors speakers with mixer on another, this way there is no buzz sounds but there are still white noises. I have another mixer with turntables and it has white noises the same as "studio" mixer just by turning volume all up.
Should there be any white noise at all or in your studios its crystal clean sound??? I am just thinking if this is actually big deal? well it will probably suck when I want to record something because despite the sound those noises will be in the recorded audio dunno if they will be noticeable?? |
