Rickardsson Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I bought my line 6 POD studio ux2 yesterday and I can't get this crackling sound to go away, and it's getting recorded as well. It will disappear if I remove the power cable from the mac, but I would rather not have to do that everytime I record. When the power cable is plugged in the sound even gets worse when I move the "mouse arrow" around. I have OSX 10.8.4 and is recording with Logic pro X 10.0.7 Many thanks for any suggestions! /Nils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 it's clearly picking up noise from your computers power supply. not much you can do other than trying to get a better power supply or possibly a small UPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickardsson Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks for answering! Do you mean better powers supply to my mac? how could it be better than the original power cable? Or can I power my UX2 with a power cable as well? Might return the product, can not take the fact that I need to record until my mac is low on power than wait with recording until mac is powered up just because of this problem. That's rubbish.

TheRealZap Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 the issue exists with lots of laptops.... and yes i meant power supply for the mac... better shielded and better grounded etc... the UX is picking up noise generated from your power.

Triryche Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Check out this video. It is for demonstration purposes only, I am not recommending or endorsing these products or methods, just throwing in out there as info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSA2F1AwboU The USP Zap is referring to is an Uninterrupted Power Supply. A power conditioner might also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
