Title: Total Recall - bass notes are noisy
Post by: benlanc on July 29, 2017, 07:43:57 PM
I'm not sure if what I'm hearing is "expected" behaviour or not, but I have quite a lot of noise on repeats on bass notes, sample from the Total Recall going straight in to my FocusRite thingy here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdcqjmdikudd67s/total%20recall.wav?dl=0

This was Delay at 2 o'clock, feedback at noon, Mod at zero, blend at noon, level at noon.

I know it's an analogue delay, and analogue delays are noisy the longer the delay time, but I get this noise as pretty much any delay time even and with feedback down on zero. What's odd is that is that the noise is worse the lower the note. I don't really get much/any noise on higher notes.

If this is a problem, where do I start debugging it?

My first thought is the compander/expander

That sounds more like clipping/distortion than hiss to me, how hot are your pickups?

BBD's don't really like low frequencies that much.
