Static in my rig

[thegreattailz]

Hey, im getting a pretty bad static from my rig and its making it terrible for recording. I have a noise gate, but its only cutting part of it out and I dont know why. Old tubes maybe? Ive tried putting the padal in the front and in the loop, no go. Also Ive tried recording from the slave and the send out. No go

Its driving me nuts

This is a recording. Surprisingly in the beginning my guitar volume is all the way down and my decimator noise gate is off, and i turned it on during the recording and adjusted the level and you cant even tell I turned it on. It is working though, this I know for a fact I can here it.

Try different guitars? Could be a loose solder on one of the pots?? Switch out cables....if not that, then most likely a preamp tube. Start small and eliminate all pedals, extra cables, etc.... Go direct into amp and then go from there. Good luck. Cheers

Sounds like it is coming from a buffering or grounding issue in the computer that you're using to record. Do you have the monitor close to the computer? there are 20kV drivers used to power the backlights of LCD screens that emit a similar static and couple through the ground plane of the cables you're using. Having it close to the computer will actually make it worse.

I'd try plugging the computer into a different outlet, check to make sure the monitor is not close to the sound card, check for bad instrument or mic cables, change outlets so that both the computer and the amplifier are isolated on different breakers, and lastly try a different guitar to make sure it is not pickup or faulty wiring related.

It goes without saying always check the tubes in an amplifier. Wavy volumes, poor volume response, drops in volume, or tone changes as the amplifier warms up are all indicators of bad tubes.

Maybe you fried something when you first got the amp and played it without a load on it??????

So I just listened to the clip. Are you still trying to record from the line out, or slave out, or whatever you were doing, or is that a mic'd speaker?

So which way was this clip recorded? Did you not read everyone's responses in your last thread about how you're not going to get a good recording this way?

Make sure you have a proper load on your amp. Fill up your bathtub. Plug the amp in to an outlet close to your bathtub. Jump nto the bathtub with the amp turned on. That should fix whatever is wrong with you.

Its the slave, and or fx send. same issue. No its not a guitar issue, no its not a cable issue cuz its coming from the amp and not the pedals. Yes my computer is right next to the screen, and yes i have only the minimum required items plugged in, and yes the computer/recording stuff is in a different outlet than the guitar rig stuff.

Man I don't know how else to tell you that you need to mic your friggin' cab, and screw the line out crap on your Recto. If you can't do this, then sell the Recto and get an Axe FX.

Stop recording straight from your amp.
