O.K., so I recorded via laptop for the first time last weekend and got some unknown noise. The actaul setup was this:
2 x Neumann (on stage) + 2 Nak 300/CP-2 (on stage) + FOH SBD vocal feeds > Berringer mixer > UA-tmod+ > Laptop (USB out) + D-100 (digi-coax).
Since I was mixing on the fly I didn't hear the noise until a between-sets playback. I started the second set "as-is" so I could determine where the sound was coming from. After trying everything, nothing eliminated the noise UNTIL I unplugged the USB cable from the UA-5. During the second show I tried running JUST the UA-5 > laptop and still got the noise, so I know the noise came from the connection.
Here's the question: Since I ran a DAT copy AND a laptop copy, is there a way to get rid of the noise from the DAT source? I figure there must be software out there that would allow me to identify what frequency the existing noise comes from and then filter it out.
Any advice here would be great...especially considering the show came out AMAZING, except for this background noise.
