Question

Adobe Adobe makes buzzing sound to the microphone.

Hello,
I have been using Adobe Audition for like 6 months, and I have finally had it, I need to address this issue out.

I use enhancers in Audition to get better audio quality to my Shure SM7B mic, and is the sole reason I am using the software.
(Adaptive Noise Reduction, Dynamics Processing, Multiband Compressor, Hard Limiter & FFT Filter)
However, after about 2 hours in, every single time, the microphone starts to horrible crackling sound and the only way I can reset it to normal is go to Preferences  > Audio Hardware and jiggle between the Latency setting between 80 and 100.
The Audio Interface I am using is Steinberg UR22C (USB 3.1).
I have tried to do the following:
- Change the USB 3.1 Cable to the Audio Interface 

- Added ferrite block at the end of the USB cable to prevent static noise.
- Tried different Latency settings but it seems to only work properly between the numbers 80 and 100.

I'd love to keep using Audition but this bottlenecks my usage and is downright frustrating.

Thanks in advance,
Mikko

Could you provide a short sample as a wav file (not an MP3) please? From your description we have no means of identifying the nature of this interference at all, I'm afraid.

    Hey, 

    Yes, of course! I put a .wav test sound how the mic sounds after 2 hours of usage.

    Here are my some Adobe Settings photos if they help any on the situation.

    Best regards,

    Mikko

    That does sound more like a processing artifact than actual interference. The obvious thing to try here initially is removing the process-intensive Adaptive Noise Reduction (that you shouldn't need with a close mic position anyway) from your processing chain. I don't know how many other effects you've got in that effects rack, but having a huge pile of them in there, even if they aren't being used, will cause all sorts of processing difficuties anyway, as they are still using processing power, even if they are apparently switched off - something that a lot of users are seemingly unaware of.

     

    What you need to do here is work out exactly what it is you need to process (and it really won't be anything like as much as you've got there for one single mic at close range), and remove everything else from the rack completely. Quite frankly, I'm somewhat amazed that it works as well as it does! Anyway, thin it out and see if that improves the situation.
