Re: Zero-Point editing and weird clicking sound

Re: notch filter?

I'm trying to notch out one particular frequency ... I'm not sure why I'm getting that particular frequency . I'm wondering if you are hearing something which we can't hear - a frequency that is not present in the recording, but is present in your headphones. Are you recording on a laptop computer?...

Re: Trimming sound files (several questions)

Unfortunately the time boxes don't to milliseconds Click on the little down arrow on the right of the number box and you can select "hh:mm:ss + milliseconds" from the drop down menu. If I could figure out how to press Record and Stop using the keyboard only, then the process would be even...

Re: Help recording overdriven guitar through an sm57

One thing at a time - if you record your voice with the SM58 does it sound OK?

Re: CD burnt from exported wav won't stop playing

If the problem is with just one CD it is likely to be an error on the CD. It is common to get a few faulty disks in a batch.

Re: Grounding Noise - DJ Mix

Try disconnecting things one at a time to determine at what point in the signal chain the noise occurs.
If you disconnect the CDJ do you still get the hum?
If you disconnect the leads from the Mixer input(s)?
