Re: Types of noise in recordings

[lamprophis1963]

I don't know if is related to your noise in this case, but I thought it mig=
ht be helpful for someone if I mention a mysterious noise problem I was hav=
ing with an ME-66 a few years back.   I found my microphone was starting to=
 get noisy and generate an annoying hum in my recordings.  I figured it was=
 from years of use and abuse and considered replacing it until I found an o=
bscure posting somewhere on the internet where someone had fixed this probl=
em. The problem was that the screw on the underside of the microphone (unde=
r the letters CE) had come slightly loose and this was the source of the no=
ise.  The original solution involved glueing it into place, but I just  tig=
htened this up and my mic was as quiet as new.


 Just thought it might be useful to get this tip out there again.
