I run pro tools 8.0.0 on XP sp3. I installed w7 first but it didn't work so I removed and went eith XP instead.

I have a constant low noise on my speakers. Sounds like a mix between white noise and a modem. It sounds like that even before I launch PT 8 if the fire-wire cable is connected to my digi 002. There's no noise in the headphones. This is taking so much time and work..

Any idea?

Default Re: low static noise in PT 8

I would first update to 8.0.1cs1 - this is the best version of PT to use with XP SP3.

Any idea?
What kind of monitors/speakers and/or amp do you use? Sounds like a possible grounding issue to me between your 002 and amp. Is all your equipment powered off the same circuit? Also, do you have your onboard soundcard connected to your 002 in any way (like to the Aux In)?

Default Re: low static noise in PT 8

Make sure you're running TRS (tip ring sleeve......) cables to your monitors. This will kill all the noise for most people.

The TRS cables fixed it! Thanks a lot!

So I think I'll upgrade to 8.0.1 cs1 How can I make a back up of my system, to revert to if the upgrade doesn't work? (I'm a noob)

Default Re: low static noise in PT 8

Afetr using both Ghost and True Image I feel The later is best suied for cloning a system drive with Pro Tools and 3rd party plug-ins involved. Authorizations are an issue with Ghost. Always keep a clone drive handy so you can be up and running in seconds if there is an issue,
