G5 Dual 2.0, Logic 7, Digi 002R, Epiphone Les Paul ($500 recently), the noise is broadband (not effected by notching multiples of 60hz), and has random light clicks like a geiger counter. So the guitar's pickups are acting like an antenna for the internal electronic noises of the computer, right? What does one do?

Due to the high gain, small amounts of noise that would otherwise go unnoticed become audible. If it has always been there and lessens or increases depending on which way you. A vibrating guitar string causes only a small voltage to be produced in a pickup coil, so the output of these have to amplified quite a lot. In a specific spot in the room, too.Īlso, the loudest noise I could get was to face the strings right nearby the computer. The hum or noise you may be referring to can be due to a couple of things. I don't think it's the guitar's internal electronics or a ground loop problem because I discovered today that if I hold the guitar with the neck vertical and the strings away from the studio equipment the hum/noise disappears! The guitar had to be just so: neck vertical, strings pointed away from the computer et al. As a result you will often find yourself taking multiple counter measures to adequately lower your noise floor. Noise in a rig is typically more than a single type of noise (e.g Ground loop, conductucted, inducted). If you hear hiss, that is from a ground loop. Just recording video and audio simultaneously. Plug you guitar into your rig and roll off the guitar volume knob.

Thats my greatest and only music aspiration. When I apply compression or select an amplifier preset (Guitar Amp Pro in Logic Pro 7) that has a lot of gain, the hum/noise seems worse than it I would have guessed it should be (I come from a synthesizer background). Currently by the software of my logitech webcam I can set 'what-U-hear' as source for audio recording instead Integrated microphone and so recording video and audio simultaneously while Im playng guitar through the Guitar Rig 5 Software. I've got a new electric guitar I'm plugging into the Inst inputs of my Digi002 rack.
