Tips from Electrix on ticking sound/ stu- stu- studio

Hmmm.... I wonder wonder wonder if you could just use the FX outputs instead of the regular outputs to alleviate the ticking sound....  would you still have level control?  Time to experiment for sure.  Evil grin.  Read the attachment below for some more info. 
    BTW, I just got a Behringer mixer in all its german-chinese glory to hook up to my Aardvark LX6, all rolling around with my old workhorse but stable Pentium III.  It's official, I now have a computer-based studio at 24/96 with disk space to burn.  If anyone wants do record some fresh jams in Olympia, Washington in a peaceful rural setting near horses and frog ponds, I'm your man.  Plenty of room inside and out.  : )  Cheers,
Tom

Subject: RE: Repeater ticking sound

There is a certain amount of noise from the CFC in all Repeaters. It is usually just in the right channel, and does not come out of the FX outputs or the digital output. It may be that your Repeater has a particularly bad CFC noise level. However, some setups can make the CFC noise worse. The following points may help the noise level, or assist me in verifying the problem.

1. Make sure that the phono switch on the rear of the unit is disengaged, unless you are using a turntable directly connected to Repeater.

2. Make sure that you have a good signal level going into Repeater. The input signal LED should light up red on signal peaks.

3. Make sure that all track slider levels are right up.

4. Make sure that the nuts around the jack sockets on the rear of the unit are secure. Hand tight is fine.

5. Make sure that the correct power supply was included with your unit (it will have "Electrix" written on it).

6. Make sure that any connected amplifiers are grounded. Some amplifiers have a ground lift switch, the ground lift needs to be off.

7. If the above points are all covered, and Repeater is still exhibiting a high level of CFC noise, try touching the front panel. If the hum stops, there is a grounding problem within your Repeater, and it will have to be returned for repair.
