Recording Vocals Has Crackle

[-mjk-]

Cracking sounds are usually caused by transients. I recorded a hot drum track and a single snare hit makes such a sound. Other than that, as Mark says, no, never.

Whew! Well that's good to hear. I doubt this unit is defective because I tested everything thoroughly when I got it. Like I said, it only happens when I'm pushing the monitor out knob pretty hard and listening through headphones... likely an issue with the headphone amp, which is a cheap behringer deal anyways so I don't expect it to be perfect.

Anyhow, thank you all for your quick replies. I like this forum already!

@xcribe why are you using an external headphone amp? The internal amp is quite loud.

It splits it into 4 channels... if I'm ever tracking with other people, we can all listen at the same time.

I guess I'm just too lazy to unplug it everytime I wanna listen
