Jul 19, 2015

I just got my mic and I have been fiddling around with it all day. Everytime I record, I get noise/grain in the background. I made sure there is nothing to disrupt my mic (EX: computer fan, house noise, A/C, etc). And I've also tried recording it in different programs as well (EX: Adobe premiere, Audacity and even Adobe Audition) and nothing seems to work. It's also not very loud, even if I put my face against the pop-filter - nothing seems to work. I've tried different settings, positions, etc. I can add "Noise removal" in post, but doing that doesn't solve my problem completely. I also tried seeing if it was the USB cable and switched it out - that did not work. Then I used my Blue snowball mic to see if it was just my speakers/headphones, but the quality on that was fine with 0% and better quality (AND THATS A $50 MIC). I looked around forums, but nothing seemed to help...I dont know if you guys would know, but if anyone has a idea what's going on / what I can do to fix this, I would love to know.
Thanks!

SymmetryhdThat is interesting...
I will play around with the one I have here and see if I can replicate what you're experiencing. Also, let me reach out to CAD and see if they might have a suggestion or two.
Thanks for letting us know and for joining the drop!

SymmetryhdThis your Blue Yeti, not the CAD GXL2600?
I reached out to them as well and they should have a reply posted shortly.
Please check back later!

SymmetryhdThanks for the info - We are attempting to reproduce your anomaly - I know our VP Engineering was going to dig in deeper to replicate your signal path. Stay tuned to your emails. FYI a few reviews are about to hit - they are all positive from reliable industry folk. And I beta tested it with a few VO folks - Myself included - I loved it so much - I couldn't stop using it.

SeanReidno, no. This is just a video I found that best represents what my mic is sounding like with the static noise. I've troubleshooted every possible option that I know of atm.

CADAudioYeah, I like the mic too! Just I can't get rid of the static - I've contacted CAD support and they are talking with me as well. I was in the process of making a Review video on the GXL2600 - but then I encountered this problem when I started to record. If I can get it fixed, I can resume making the video so I can post it up on my channel.
Thanks for your help. Hopefully we can fix this problem :)

We appreciate the information and the support, if there is anyone else encountering the same issue hopefully this will help them as well.

SymmetryhdI relate with Symmetryhd. The mic is very quiet. It is within 10 inches of my face and no one can hear me over VOIP.

Blazin_Asian17I can deal with it being quiet..and I did manage to make it a bit louder. I can always fix that in post - but this static noise is something that shouldn't be happening...

CADAudioCould it be possible that the mic has a defect? Or do you think that it can be fixed, etc?
