Hi all

I get a terrible noise when i record from my mixer to the laptop. it comes through the recording and its loud. How can I stop that noise? whats causing the noise? I can clean up the noise after wards but it also affects the audio.

A ground loop/hum, or just normal noise?

Is your input signal hot enough? Low signal leads to background noise. I like to keep my input levels peaking around -6db.
