Well… there was the First Hurdle, however in a track race there is always more than one hurdle.

First question would be how did I get over the First Hurdle? Easy… I went around it. I’m not going to be using that set up to do most of the recording. Whilst I have a laptop for portable recording. I have a desktop at home sitting there doing nothing other than a storage box.. The application I was going to use initially on my laptop I’m no longer using, I’m using a better program.  Now, in removing one noise, I’m created another..

Do you realise how loud some of the old desktop machines are…  In the desktop there are 5 fans I can think of off the top of my head… CPU, Video Card, Power Supply, Front Intake, Back Outtake.. actually make that 6… BIOS fan.  Now I replaced a BIOS fan and that made a huge difference… I will eventually replace the other fans, however I’ve found something that reduces the noise the box is producing… putting the computer inside a cupboard… I’ll find a link to the cupboard and will write up a post on how it all goes together.. and of course finally sound reduction.

I’ll get that, sound proof the inside of the box and that should get rid of most of the noise the box is making… granted it increases the size of the box… but the noise reduction is worth it!

So that will be a project in a few weeks…
