You're missing a preamp in that chain. What supplies the phantom power to the mic? _________________ www.TonerVoice.com |

This IS getting confusing.
As it stands, the positioning of the dbx166 between the 416 and the iD22 is illogical because (as far as I can see) the dbx166 neither supplies nor passes through the phantom power required by the 416 (as Steve noted). The iD22 is a great preamp/interface (which supplies the required phantom power). It also has insert points which invite the connection of external processing units (such as the dbx166).
The chain should logically be:
416 to iD22 mic channel 1 (phantom power switched on)
iD22 send 1 to dbx 166 in
dbx 166 out to iD22 return 1
iD22 USB to MacBook
For logical fault finding, the first thing to do is simplify your chain as much as possible. The dbx 166 is a complicating factor which needs some clarification regarding its connectivity. Lose it. The chain will then be 416-XLR-iD22-USB-MacBook. Referring back to my chain in an earlier post, the first thing I would do is lose my Radial switch... it's a secondary piece of equipment and not necessary for recording. Removing it while trying to identify a problem would be my first step... then check the prime components by substitution. _________________ Bish a.k.a. Bish

What are you saying? He's got a 416T? T(ea) power rather than phantom power? _________________ www.TonerVoice.com |

If it is a 416T, that would make sense in the chain as described... but as it stands, the information is sparse and somewhat impenetrable. _________________ Bish a.k.a. Bish

How old is the audient? They replaced mine when it was still newish without a quibble when I was having mystery noises (of a different sort) that I couldn't pin on a mic or cable. _________________ Andrew Fogarasi

It's not a 'T'. Phantom power provided by the Audient.
166 is for noise gate. _________________ www.moosevoice.com |

OK, so your signal chain is what Bish posted above then?

I THINK I've gotten it solved.
I attached an external drive and change my scratch recording path to it. Haven't had any 'pops/crackles/etc.' since.
Sooooo, fingers crossed?
Thanks Deirdre for the suggestion. Thanks everyone for your help. _________________ www.moosevoice.com |

Sound's back. Weird because I haven't changed a thing in either the signal chain, software, fx plugins, whatever areas. _________________ www.moosevoice.com |

Is the external drive assigned as the record disc? _________________ DBCooperVO.com |

Hey Deirdre,
Sorry for the delay....
Yes, the external drive is assigned as the record path. _________________ www.moosevoice.com |
