Gerry 1943 Posted Tuesday at 05:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:06 PM When listening back to what I have done, I hear some type of buzzing in my speakers and/or headphones. Mostly at the low ends. Could my lows be too low? Regards. Thank you for any help. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted Tuesday at 10:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:42 PM (edited) I would start by working out if it's a single track causing this or a build up from several tracks Use Mute or Solo to home in on the problem Are you sure you're not clipping your mains?

Kurre Posted Wednesday at 03:30 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:30 PM If your audio out goes thru an external mixer, that mixer could be the source of buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Stanton Posted Wednesday at 04:01 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:01 PM (edited) depends. if the buzzing is generally frequency related then it's possible you have too much LF energy and it's causing your speakers or headphone membranes to hit the end of their physical excursion, or there is something damaged. turn down the volume and see if it continues.

It would be helpful if you would tell us what model of interface, speakers, and headphones you are using. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mettelus Posted Thursday at 05:12 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:12 PM 13 minutes ago, pwalpwal said: ground loop hum or cables, i'll bet a shiny euro This topic was another thread and I had asked if it also existed in with a commercial track imported into Cakewalk, so assume it does (no idea). Connectors are common sources, which can also be cleaned at times by rotating them back and forth in the jack, but a damaged cable from being stepped on or having a chair run over it can cause a similar issue. If the issue is in both speakers and headphones with a commercial track imported into Cakewalk, it could be a ground loop... plugging all devices into the same outlet temporarily and shutting off all other electronics (especially AC systems) would help to troubleshoot. Before jumping into a "mix issue," verify your hardware is online properly with a commercial track (that you know well). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry 1943 Posted Thursday at 09:25 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:25 PM Thank you ALL for your various inputs. Following Bristol's comments, I discovered that the culprit was the kick drum track. I was able to resolve the issue by playing around with the volume. Everything now seems to be functioning fine. Again, thank you everyone for your inputs. Much appreciated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
