I'm flattered that anyone remembers me on the boards. I don't have much time to post anymore. Still here in Boston....And that would be about 10 years of Lindy DJing to go with my recent Westie shananigans...now venturing into two-step as well.

So after trouble shooting the best that I can here is what I came up with: Drummmmmm Rrrrrrollllllll......... It was the CD player....My CD player at work is crap....this Samsung DVD-ROM SD 616T is just not good. Most likely causing the static. So far the Yamaha & NEC I have at home are much bet...

So turns out not to be...My sound card (echo Indigo DJ) or playback program (Tracktor, Atomix, Music Match, Sound Forge, or Windows Media Player) All have the same results. It is something that I think is happening in the EAC ripping of the WAV file. the two versions made at home on two different pl...

You're right...I think I've ruled out LAME as a possible problem. It happens with a number of CDs...Right now I'm working on one I know it happens to. It's a relatively new problem (I never noticed it before and ripped 70GB worth of MP3s on same equipment with same settings) Has anyone ever seen EAC...

The static is not loud...Possible not noticable to most...I'm thinking it could be caused by clipping at loud volumes...it occurs when there tends to be something loud happening (i.e. vocals or a trumpet) It happens in both the MP3 conversion and also when converted to a pure .WAV Not when the CD is...

Just recently had a 250gb hard drive die and lost 80GB of music and I'm starting from scrat...

Re: Extigy or similar

I had this same hum with my new laptop. Even through an MP3+. I was using an extension cord to get on a separate circuit for a couple days till I figured this one out. I found it to be a ground loop. Use one of those 3-prong adapters on the laptop power cord to convert to use only 2 prongs. End of ...
