[QUOTE="Paul Johnson, post: 216174, member: 2643"] Did you hear this when you play the Zoom's SD card in the software of your computer? You didn't say. I'm not hearing any rhythmic elements that jump out at me EDIT I [I]CAN [/I]hear this when I listen on my MacBook and not the studio system. I think it could be there on the big system but It's not obvious. On the MacBook using the built in music app, I can hear it. I then tried it on the MacBook in audition - and it's like in the studio, very very low. I assume you are hearing it on the uncompressed format you're recording in? Are you sure the noise is there before the conversion to mp3? I think this could be a codec issue maybe? Is the noise there when you play normally - not a belter of a scale. The file in audition is also quite hot. Well worth repeating this test with the record levels quite a bit down. You didn't clip but you came very close and maybe with the strident tone of the sax, it's just revealing compression difficulties in your mp3 conversion, hopefully missing in the .wav the thing probably started in? Do another recording with the gain knocked down, or just play a bit more quietly so we can assess the quality - it's so loud my wife could hear the sax across the room until I found the volume to turn it right down - its MEGA loud, which cannot help the conversion, [/QUOTE]
