Post Subject: Some things I'd tryPosted by Antonio J. on: 11/11/2005
- If you still keep the Alesis HD based recorder, try plugging the Lavry using the AES/EBU connection into it (supposing it has that digital input, otherwise use the one you have available), then see if the noise is still so high. In the case your recording is less noisy:

- I'd replace those fast SCSI 10000 rpm harddisks into your computer for some less noisy ones, I wonder if the powerful engines into those disks are creating some kind of interference into the incoming digital signal. Also try different cables and maybe try the optical connection.

If things don't change at all, I'd look into the Lavry settings, maybe the problem is not a too low recording level but a too high one and you're experiencing "digital clipping" which is pretty awful sounding.
