I am a beginner and I am having probs with recording. I am picking up a lot of static with the vocals. In fact, the track itself is being recorded on the same channel as the vocals but I have the sound is going directly into the headphones during a recording. Can someone help please!!!!! I am exporting files from Reason and FL 5 Studio into Vegas or Cakewalk. I have tried both and there is still helluva static and distortion being recorded. My setup for the mixer is correct and I am running out of ideas. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

What about power conditioning? Are you using any sort?

I use a monster power conditioner, but before I had it my lines were really noisy and even susceptible to picking up external radio freuqencies.

While it was 300 bucks, a lot of cash to me, I would recommend the investement of power conditioning to all.

Especially in your case here Cali, as microphones require a lot of power to run, so lines are extra sensitive to outer interferences when working with a mic. In other words, every little buzz and hum even if coming from a screw that is rattling inside your mac next to the fan and it then shakes the audio output on your soundcard. ':D' LOL.

But that is really why I think that there is value in power conditioning in the case here that you want to make a good clean recording. You can do it I am convinced with even GarageBand, although I would do it with nothing but GarageBand<------my GB file.

Good Luck.
