My first trial of the Lexar 60x4G card produces that right channel tickticktickticktickticktick,
when listening carefully through headphones
when
my cell phone was off
using both AC and batteries
granted, even with headphones, I have to listen pretty hard, but when the source gets quiet,
the ticking is definitely there.
Again, I can't control the cell phone use of 60 other people in the room,
and therefore can't blame it entirely on the card.
I could try another test in my apartment, but there's so much electrical interference in here,
I doubt it would be scientific. I will try it anyway.
I won't be able to vouch for my downstairs neighbor's cell phone.
Perhaps someone needs to take their machine out into the woods miles from anyone
use a Lexar card and do some quiet field recordings.
I wonder if I'll be able to use the machine in that sort of application...
I think I'll be looking into rigging up one of those metal cage external shielding devices,
despite the added bulk. (and wearing my aluminum foil at too!
)
Or just carry some pots and pans to the show
I remembered just a moment ago that my friend used to use a TV remote control next to his guitar pickups to produce a similar ticking sound that he fed through effects and loop pedals....
