ndsinister Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I own a TonePort GX for 10 years. After years of break, decided to use it again. Plugged it into my MacBook Pro (Catalina). Drivers installed and device recognized by the system. I fired up Garageband and I'm using VST plugins to get heavy distortion/effects. Only that I noticed that the device produces white noise even with no guitar connected to it and this noise is recordable as well. I attached a sample of it. I tried to play with the buffer but it has no affect. The noise remains no matter if I plug the laptop to the charger or not. Years ago, I used Gearbox, which is no longer supported on latest MacOS, and I don't remember ever hearing that white noise. What can it be? I'm using the stock USB cable. I haven't tried changing it because well I don't have any other cable. Also note that if I use the device for listening only, there's no white noise. It's only when it's in recording mode. with gain no guitar.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Is the noise present with no cable plugged into the GX and with out your plug-ins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
