Ableton Forum

hi i have looked around this forum looking for the answer for my problem
but no one seems to have the problem im having.

when i record my guitar or vocals i get this wierd static sound coming through the speakers. the quality is fine but the fuzz sound im getting is driving me crazy!

please help me...............

Is it recorded into the file? And is it there when you listen with headphones? more info please.

ya it gets recorded into the file. i even put a track onto CD to see if was just my speakers but it was still very clear. i have tried putting the levels on my mixer down low, pluging my guitar directly into my sound card but nothing works.

what sound device are you using, what kind of computer? do you have a crt monitor?

im using digi-fire 7.1 and my computer is a dell dimension 2350.

try moving the digi-fire as far away from anything electrical you can, and recording some silence then.

may be way off..........but............here goes.

Are you by any chance getting the "doubling" ick created by latency? If for any reason this is the case.........it will just SUCK. I have two options that kill the problem.

Turn the track off during record

or I have a separate mixer where it can be "post" only.

If this is not the case then ignore me.............

does it help when you play the guitar from a greater distance? i've heard similar problems getting solved by sitting not in the direct vicinity of your monitor. but i suppose the dell is a laptop? then it probably will be something else.
iirc, it only happened with single coil guitars.
