Korakios Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hi,On my current setup I faced usb high pitched whine noise (again)...So if anyone has the same problem I though helping to reduce the noise...The noise comes only when I plug the usb cable to my laptop and has nothing to do with ground hum noise...First I opened the cable (disconnected) and cut the black wire..(if the noise is gone you are done!)I noticed that since all my equipment is connected to the mixer ,I also cut the ground shield.Now the noise is way down (but not eliminated)Note that the usb midi (with both black and ground cut) will not work when you have only your PC and G1 with headphones...so buy another one!Hope it helps PS. If you damage anything ,don't blame me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 There is all sorts of Voodoo and Black Majik that goes into eliminating these phantom noises. Sometime just plugging the offending gear into outlets on different circuits helps - sometimes an outright exorcism is needed. Or, as in your case, a ritualistic circumcision of some cables do the trick. Lighting some incense also works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
