Hello folks,
I have a problem that I can't find the solution to, maybe someone can help.
When I am playing/recording though my mixer the kick has a vibration/crackle noise whenever I play. The louder I kick, the more noise appears
Any ideas are welcome
Thanks
Halley
What I have already tried (none seem to make any difference)
- Tighten the XLR connector, it helps a little, but soon after a few "kicks" it starts again
- Replace the cable(3 times, no changes)
- Ensure that the cable does NOT touch the porthole/skin
- Ensure that the cable does NOT touch the drum shell once it's outside
- Replaced the t.bone BD300 mic with a Shure PG52
- The t.bone mic is now used on the 16 floor tom without any noise
- Changed the channel on the mixer
- Tried to remove all FX from the channel (reverb from the mixer and disconnected the insert/compressor)
-------
A little bit about my gear

Mixer: Behringer X2442USB
Recording Interface: Tascam 16x08
Effects: Behringer MDX4600 Multicom Pro XL (The kick channel is set to a compressor)
Drum: Mapex Meridian Birch, Kick is 22x20
