Check the actual wall and then the strip.

Having the hum get worse when you unplugged the computer could be serious. I mean shock hazard serious.

I do have a shopping trip for you. Drop by the hardware store and get a simple wall power tester. Screen Shot 2018-05-29 at 21.35.30.png The simple ones have three lights. Two of them are supposed to come on (it says so). If you get the wrong number or the wrong order, then you may have building pow...

You took a bus from Toronto to San Diego?

The hum is still there.

One to the electrical outlet (a power strip) By way of a little power supply brick? There's 100v coming out of the wall and the ART takes 9 Volts. There has to be a 'thing' between those two.

This Dolby thing is a valid way to produce videos. We used to do that if there wasn't room to include all the different versions of sound...

You should have your Microphone plugged in with one single 3-pin XLR cable directly to the back of the ART. The Middle button on the Art, P-Power+48v should be pressed. No other adapters or odd cables. No other buttons. As near as I can tell from the instructions, the microphone has no lights to tel...

get a different power supply to the mic? Wait. What? You can't leave things out like this. We need to build your system in our imagination since we can't see you in real life. Do you have a little Phantom Power brick between the microphone and the ART? You shouldn't need that. The ART should be sup...
