Question

Using Studio One 4. When I enable phantom power on my mic (interface is id44 and mic is Roswell k47) and I set the track to record, I see a "clip" (the tiny square that shows on the track).

I know I can clear the red by clicking on it and after that I record just fine (no pop, crackles, or clips) but it annoys me that the first time I set the track to record I see the clip.

Does anybody else experience the same or have any tips to deal with it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Make sure that the preamp gain is turned all the way down whenever you switch Phantom Power or whenever you connect or disconnect a mic.

Answer 2

Been using this pos product for 3 months and EVERYTIME I try and use phantom power all I hear is an ungodly amount of crackling noises that doesn't go away until I turn the Phantom Power off. I have been recording music for over 10 years and have EVERYTHING set up perfectly. PreSonus is trash.

Answer 3

Don't have it set to record, then enable phantom power, always enable phantom power, then set to record. This is nothing to do with Presonus, it is basic studio common practice.
