Well I think my audio interface has failed. 2 weeks ago I tried to record and the results sounded like pure crap and had a floor noise that was weird in that I couldn't route it out.
So I gave up thinking I had hooked up something wrong but had lost my inspiration wanting to record and not be a techie for 2 hours.
A few days ago I re-bought a phonograph (been over 25 years) and hooked it up and it sounded like a Wind Tunnel along with the music. I literally disconnected everything but the speakers and it still had that blowing sound. Turned the unit off/on and it was clean for only a few seconds then came back. Disconnected everything but for headphones and power cord and same thing: Wind Tunnel (or the sound you'd hear if you stuck your head out of a moving car)
I've sent a description and recording to Focusrite Support and am waiting for a reply for a few days, but I'm a bit bummed as it's less than a year old. All I have is an Apogee One if I want to take a stab at recording on my MacBook. Maybe the gods are telling me something? lol
Well, I CAN be an optimist and look at it like a new sound effect!
