Hi, I am recording audio and cannot record without noise, nor can I remove it without sacrificing a portion of the sound wave. I am new to Cubase, my setup is: Yamaha PSR-SX700 keyboard. Connected to Steinberg UR24C audio interface. To Cubase 11 Pro. Recording MIDI is fine. Recording Audio al…

I cannot upload a sample. The website tells me I am not allowed to have a link in my comment :frowning:

Welcome to the forum [image] alans001: as soon as I add Normalize to the audio recording, the noise appears again! Actually the noise was there all the time, normalizing didn’t revive the noise. Rather normalizing increased the volume of both the signal and the noise to the point where you c…

That’s because you’re new and don’t have enough posts yet. I don’t think it takes very many posts to turn it on - but don’t know how many. Kind of an annoying feature. Maybe make a few gratuitous posts in other threads. EDIT: Thanks @steve So just reading a handful of post should get you there. …

Thank you Raino, and Steve, I will check the cables and see where that gets me. Yes, Normalize just revived the noise, which already existed. I really want to reduce it to an acceptable point. I was reading online, this could be the audio interface base noise frequency (is is just a repeating puls…

[image] alans001: (is is just a repeating pulse kind of noise). In my first reply I was imagining a white-ish constant noise. Hearing what that pulse sounds like will be interesting.

Also, you will want to set the output of the source (combined with the gain of the input interface) so that the loudest the source generates almost-but-not-quite clips – somewhere around -3 dBFS. In general, it’s better to turn up the volume on the source, and turn down the gain on the interface, b…

@jwatte Thank you for the clarification. [image] jwatte: In general, it’s better to turn up the volume on the source, and turn down the gain on the interface, because this will let the source overpower whatever small noise may be on the cables and in the interface pre-amps. Yes, I am kinda …

Ok that is a weird sound. It is a bit different than the noise audio folks mostly encounter which is a background hiss. This is some sort of signal that is leaking into your audio. Here’s a pic you can see how regular it is. The cycle length is about 103ms (or 9.7Hz). [image] Here it is zoomed i…
