I'm based in UK.
Hooked up a TLAudio 5001 to my Ti PB minijack input, whilst (powered) Lacie FW was connected and Ti PB was running off power adapter. Result NOISE CITY. Anyone any ideas on reducing this to zero (had to record to internal drive, running Ti PB on it's batteries) ? I will be using balanced connections from several pre-amps (TLAudio EQ-1 and 5001, SPL Goldmike) to an RME Multiface/Cardbus (once I can get usable drivers)... Any thoughts on curing earth loops in this situation would be welcome... |

If you're recording audio thru the minijack input of the mac it's qui normal the result is in the crappy direction.
The RME will be way better. Why? the Mac is 16/44,1, entry level converters and definetly not made for pro audio. Try without the power adapter, but you'll have still the inner quality of the audio in of the Mac between you and the music. It's been made for video chat or taking notes, not for pro audio. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Thanks for that...
By 'NOISE CITY' I meant 50 cycle mains noise, but I take your point about the 16/44 converters. Everything ends up sounding 'manky' and coloured. Hence the Multiface (which was compared very favourable sound-wise with the MH Mobile I/O in a recent Sound on Sound review), just can't get any Panther drivers for it yet... Cheers from UK...

make usre its not the FW drive by simply plugin it off.
I had a similier problem and it seems that if I turn my lacie only after my computer it doesn't interduce noise anymore.. -------------------- Recording engineer and producer... Check out latest work with Darling Nikkie (aka Jade4u) at DarlingNikkie.com or mp3.com
