lovely morning all, need some help! im using an Akai DPS12i digital portastudio to record a load of 'found sounds' and make tunes out of them (the results will be in this weeks BIYC update). im transferring them from the akai to my PC from the red/white audio out to my pcs line in and recording them in audacity but i get a small amount of noise. is this the cable? i can use audacitys noise removal feature but on quiet sounds i lose some of the sound itself which is doing my nut in. any suggestions? thanks! |

what cables are they? is the noise there if you just plug the cables in without them being in the akai? is the noise there if you plug them into the akai, but without playing any sound? is the noise there if you plug them into something besides your pc? |

RCA cables? |

|
|
cool, so are just the cables... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
heh, you're welcome I go into "cable debug mode" twenty times a day, so I'm getting quite good at it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
much appreciated anyway! off to buy a better quality one now. HURRAH! |
||||||||

you should probably test the akai first too, though -- no use in buying a high-quality cable if the hiss is in akai as well... |
||||||||
|

Actually, a couple of websites I just read seemed to have people complaining about the sound quality from the analogue audio out of this device. If your computer can record digital in, that is suggested. |

word! if there's coax or optical on it, get that.. you can be sure that the only noise then will be on what you've recorded. |
||||||||

my computer has an awful AWFUL soundcard. might leave it a few days and use the optical on my mates laptop... might yield better results. ive tested the akai with a different cable and there is still some noise but not as much! bloody useless machines, at least i stole it from college. |

I wish akai would stop doing things like making decent machines that have one big problem like bloody awfull master out channels. Seriously. They could have saved themselves a lot of shit and just spent the extra $5 it would take to make a proper line out. |

i know what you mean. i chose this over a tascam tape one for the audio quality (although i kinda want some tape hiss now) and even though its a lot older now ive used both the build quality of the tascam seems far superior in my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm. Aparently, its a pretty solid, and noise free machine, except for the noise in the line out. There is probly a way to have the audio out modified with higher quality components or better insulation that would kill the noise. |
||||||||

ive only got it for two weeks and i have to pay for it if i break it so i wont be modifying it. maybe the reason the build quality seems shit is because around 100 wanna be rock stars have recorded their god awful demos on it prior to me using it and as such it has 3 faders and a dial missing. its got some hilarious emo tunes stored on the HD though. samples ahoy! |
||||||||

See, that hiss isn't the output. Its the emo leaking through onto your sounds. If you want my advice, take the harddrive, put it in a soundproof container and burn it. |
