hi folks,
recording a friends band in their house over the last few days and came across this problem for the first time. When the laptop is plugged in i get some crazy noises through the monitors, a rhythmic stuttering (possibly 50hz electricity frequency?) and other stranger noises which are like filtered white noise.
so to get round it before i hit record i have to plug out the laptop and while this is workable its a bit of a pain in the arse especially if we do a lot of takes then have to take a break while the laptop recharges.
ive tried using extension leads to plug the speakers and laptop and audio interface into different plugs all around the house in different combinations to ensure its not because two things are plugged on the same spur or whatever (you may have noticed my grasp of electronics is pretty vague). ive also tried plugging out or turning off the oven, washing machine, toaster, tv etc
anyway just wondering if theres any crafty ways round this or anything i can buy in maplins (other than a load of spare batteries) that will sort it out?
thanks
