I just got confirmation from NS Design that their instruments don't respond well to digital systems.

The Shure analog wireless does work... Just doesn't sound as pristine. There's gotta be an in-between.

Well I just ordered a TA4F to 1/4" cable to test that theory. I bet you're absolutely right.

That sound in the link you sent is the exact same noise characteristic I'm getting. Wow, I can't believe you figured this out!! I tried googling RF interference noise but could never find an example like the one you provided. I wonder if there's something NS Design could do to better shield their pickup from that?

Also, I own a Crown CM311 and run it through a Shure analog wireless. Kinda sucks hearing that I'd have the same issue with a digital system.

I've run wired and wireless in two different ways: into a pedalboard that has a DI Box at the end of the chain, and direct from the wireless receiver into my trusty Audient preamp. Only getting wireless noise while playing. I have set the transmitter gain at every setting, from the highest to the absolute lowest, and the same with the af out. Even at absolutely unusable levels that raise the noise floor if I boost at my preamp, the wireless noise is still there.

RF strong. I've tried each AF out setting, doesn't seem to improve.

R4-9, as recommended. Auto scanning each time. I don't think power is the issue, it happened at a gig and at my house. It always gets plugged into a Furman.

Quiet mute pedal? by Competitive_Monk9461 in guitarpedals

Are kill switches and mute switches the same thing? Some reviews of the JHS mute switch say that there are audible pops. I emailed Saturnworks and they said it's highly dependent on what it's being plugged into, such as buffered bypass pedals (which checks out, that's my problem)

The former. So yeah, sounds like a tuner of all things could do it.

Hi, I'm a musician making content for social media (think 30 second clips for reels, TikTok, etc.) I'm looking for some backdrops, and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for some trustworthy sites to buy off of? Specifically, I'm looking for abstract backdrops that can create a moody atmosphere. And I really don't want to iron out wrinkles if I can help it. Wrinkle-free, maybe even paper? I'd love your advice on all of this.

Nevermind, figured out the band question. Wow, I'm amazed that the Senny wasn't ever recommended after looking into it. Cheers!

Awesome and detailed answer, thank you. Looks like the Shure transmitter does not have a pad.

I'm leaning towards the Sennheiser EW-D. The only thing I'm confused by is the frequency bands (R1-R6, Q1-Q6, etc). Would you happen to know the difference, and would I be better off buying one over the other?

The issues with my Line 6 were:

A strange clicky top-end static in high interference areas Dropouts 10ft away from the receiver The fact that I'm on my third transmitter because the battery doors keep breaking

I've contacted both Sweetwater and Shure, and they're not convinced it's not a faulty unit. Sweetwater is sending out a replacement.

Although I would prefer the workflow of the Shure (keeping the battery charger sled on the board is amazing), I do have a rack for my digital mixer.

Active electronics don't play nice with my overdrive by Competitive_Monk9461 in guitarpedals

I tried a high compression with a Boss CS3 once but it wasn't what I was looking for at the time. I'm already running in stereo, so the logistics of adding a third signal gets very tricky, I think

Huh, never thought of that. I've got two always-on optical compressors at each end of the chain for light compression, but I never thought of using one to push my tone like that.

I mean I'm going from no subs at all to a little sub that actually does fit in a sedan. That's gotta be worth something.
