Rausch bei Aufnahmen

[PVC]

Hello!

(sorry, I'm better in English...)


When I want to record sound onto my computer, the noise level keeps running too high to my liking. Does this have anything to do with the (useless?) pre-amp of my PC? I have noticed that the noise level is better when I reduce the PC input volume to a minimum and boost my mic signal with an external amplifier. But then again, the quality is still not good enough. By the way, I am using an ATR-25, but I can not believe that this is the main problem. On top of that I am using all brand new cables and sockets of good quality.

I might also be your soundcard. These Onbard soundcards aren't usually meant for recoding, and their preamps and alos but I don't know if thats the deal in your case....

I'm afraid that you may be right. Thanks for your answer anyway!

... hab ich auch manchmal... hicks... und Happy New Year.

(welcome ... and sorry for that little joke, PVC - as your question has been technically answered, I'm ready to go for the real word. Germans have a "Rausch" when they are frenzy, drunk or high.)

ok, i try to write in english. it´s a problem of your soundcard, i think. you need a recording soundcard, like this: http://www.musik-service.de/ProduX/Recording/Computer/TerraTec_Phase_22.htm
to get useful records. the quality is much better than your old soundcard. the best quality will you get if you use a preamp for your mic. i hope you can understand this, because my englisch is not very well.

@hans_3 geht mir auch so, nur nun zum glück kein restalkohol mehr. frohes neues.

It could also be a problem with the powersupply. When I tried to record with my Notebook I had terrible noise on the record. But when I have pulled the powerplug out and ran it on accupower the noise has gone.

Hips!!! (sorry... too much Belgian beer....)

I'll try to give my German a refresher, I promise!

By the way, thanks for your help!

you could as well cut the high frequenzes ( over 8 kHz ??... I don't now it exactly, just try ... ) , and use an noise gate. 'Should kill the noiseparts between your licks.
