I just recorded the past two nights and noticed my recordings suffer every now and then a few slight clicks then 10 seconds or so of loud static/distortion over the recording. I am trying to find the source so this is what I know so far and what I can rule out...
1. I recorded both nights with 2 different sets of microphones so I know it's not coming from the microphones.
2. I just replaced the battery prior to the show in my preamp (not sure how this would be a problem but explaining everything that happened).
3. The show was quiet so I turned the knob nearly all the way to capture the sound.
4. I had never had any problems like this with any of my prior recordings.
5. Not sure if cell phone interference could be a possibility as I'm unsure how that sounds but again I have not had this happen before.
So my thoughts are... did turning up the preamp fully cause a distortion? Cell phone interference noticeable now that I turned everything up? I am just wondering since the sound doesn't impact the entire show, only for a few loud seconds now and then.
By the way, I was using Edirol 09, CA 9100, and CA14 omni night 1 cards night 2
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
