I am posting this here because I don't what to do or replace in my gear (Church mics & cables, Preamp CA- 9100, Sony PCM-M10 - a pretty regular setup, I would say). In one of my last recordings that I did before the first lockdown I noticed that all of a sudden there were very annoying crackles in my recording. In the last two weeks I recorded a couple of Little Caesar shows (the first concerts since March 2020). Before these shows I made a few tests at home and I realized that, as soon as I touch the cables, or the recorder and moved it in any way I had these crackles again. So, during the latest shows I saw/recorded, I let the gear run long enough before show time, packed it away and put it in my hip-bag and didn't touch anything during the show. Still in one of the recordings I have these crackles once again and I have no explanation. I stood still throughout the entire show.....
Any opinions ? Is it the recorder or the pre-amp or the cables (which would by my guess) ? Any help would be welcome, sample attached so you know what I am talking about.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
