Hey, ive been recording off of my computer for quite some time onto Sonar and i have one huge problem thought you might be able to assist with. There is horrible buzzing from the audio cables that i cannot get rid of. it tends to overpower the track destroying any enjoyment. I have all remaining electrical power off in my room and even my monitor and speakers are off (i use headphones to record). plz help

Jan 06, 2003 02:14 pm for this youd need to provide a bit more info. are you using a mixer, mic'd guitars, or direct from the amp guitars....ect. tell us the set up
Jan 06, 2003 02:18 pm im running from a marshall practice amp directly into the sound card...Soundblaster Audigy. no mixer, or added preamp
Jan 06, 2003 02:22 pm What output from your amp are you running into the sound card?
:: crosses finger hoping not to hear "the speaker output" ::
Jan 06, 2003 02:29 pm The speaker output only gives me left channel so its useless to me. I use the headphone out to get stereo sound.

Jan 06, 2003 02:32 pm test it with youre guitar volume all the way down. guitar picups are really noisy. then work up from there.

Jan 14, 2003 10:30 pm sad to say, but you may have damamged the soundcard by plugging the speaker output into the card. The Speaker out drives power through it, which is how it powers the speakers, byplugging it into the soundcard you are directing all that power from the amp into the soundcard.
