Topic: What is causing my 'digi-noise' throught this recording?

[Neilyboy]

very odd. I finally got around to bringing the mic's into work to play around with. I just sat the mics in front of my computer speakers and recorded two, one hour recordings. I was just playing some tunes through pandora. I listened to the recordings and from what I can tell the noise is completely gone and sounds great (I will have to burn them on a disc and listen on the drive home to be sure) but I think they sound alright today... I wonder just what in the heck was causing that noise to be picked up? That is just too odd. I will keep you posted on what I find.

I second the cell phone problem.  In my computer room at home I have a 2.1 Blue sky media desk speaker setup through a focusrite saffire sound card box.  I never had any problems with them at any other time including with my particular cell phone.  Then one day I was working on a film fest project and I started getting this buzz type noise periodically throughout the weekend.  I finally correlated it to one of the actors cell phones when he had it laying out by my computer. . . about three or more feet away.  Every time that thing had an incoming call or text message I would get that buzzing noise exhibited through my monitoring speakers.  Thankfully I wasn't recording anything critical when it was going off!

just wild.. I was just thinking back to that night. I went with my uncle and two of his friends from work. One being a gal who had one heck of a large purse. I had my 'gear' sitting on the same chair as her purse. I wonder if she had some goofy phone or device in there that was sending and receiving data. I am willing to bet that is what it was since I for the life of me can not replicate the problem. I have used my phone my work phone and anything else I can think of and nothing works haha. I would have to say at this point in time it was something in that gal's bag that was causing the goofy sounds that I heard throughout the night.

I had some cell phone interference in a recording one time. It happened twice at the beginning of the reocording, but only when I was actually pressing the button on the side of my R-09HR to adjust the gain. The guy sitting next to me was text messaging the whole time, but their was only interference when I pressed a button. My only reasoning is that somehow my touching the unit conducted the interference. Or maybe it was a pure coincidence.
