New user - Background noise

[offpaul]

Hi

sorry if this has been covered before I did do a quick search

 

I have recorded various tracks - and had loads of noise issues.

 

In particular I have recorded directly from an old Casio keyboard through the headphone socket and the background hiss is REALLY annoying.

 

I cant find out where the hiss is coming from.

 

HEEEEELP

 

 

 

Also I can sometimes hear tracks when they are muted - is this all software problems or hardware?

hmmn its quite a busy forum then . . . no views so far.

 

Tell you what - I will ask the tech bods tomorrow

Hi,

 

This sounds as a board(old Casio keyboard) and/or input(headphone socket) issue, specially if it happens on all recordings. Is possible, try to record from a different board using a different computer.

 

Best regards,

I would say that you have a bad keyboard output or a bad cable. Doesn't sound like an issue with Mixpad. You may want to try a DI box between your keyboard and the interface to calm down some of the noise, but that probably won't completely solve your problem.
