In my recording setup I'm noticing what I believe is a "ground humm." I say this because this is a relatively new term for me but by judging the deep droning sound I'm getting, it sounds like an applicable description.
My current setup is as follow...
I run my sampling/listening sources (CD player and Trurntable) through a relatively cheap 2 channel Gemini GMX DJ mixer. From there I run my DJ mixer out put in to my channels on my Yamaha MG mixer. Also going into the Yamaha is my ASR X Pro sampler, and output from my PC sound card. I'm running 2outputs from the Yamaha, one into my Tascan US-428 recording interface and another into my powered speaker amp.
After some tooling around I've noticed I don't get the "noise" from the imput from the ASR, but only from my sources that are fed through the DJ mixer.
Now I'm wondering what could be the cause of my noise? Could it be the cables (I'm using all unbalanced), the DJ mixer (it's in good condition but very basic), or is it my level settings (at what stage in my monitor mix should I be adjusting gain, faders, amp level and such)???
As stated previously I'm not sure it's ground humm but I can only describe it as a deep droning, swelling sound.
Thank so much for the assistance
PS. my turntable is grounded to the DJ mixer, which I do not believe has a preamp.
