Q: Buzz on audio when recording and in playback - new mini mac?
Up until now I have been recording on a Macbook Pro, however I have recently moved onto a Mac Mini and that's when this problem started...
I am having trouble because when I play audio and the R button is on theres a high fuzz/ buzz/ ringing sound along with what I am playing. This is recorded and I can hear it when I listen back too. What's weird is that there's a dead silence between the notes. When recording software instruments through a usb midi keyboard it works and playback as it should.
I have tried changing the usb input of my sound card, using different instruments incase it's a buzz from that, changing the leads, and also checked the sound card still works fine with my old Macbook Pro. All this is fine. (I use an Alesis IO4 sound card)
All I can think is theres something I don't understand that I haven't done properly in Logic since installing it on the Mac Mini which differs to how it is set up on the macbook. That, or something is wrong with the Mac Mini itself however it's brand new from Apple.
Please help if you can shed any light on this.
I hope this makes some sense!
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
