Buzzing Noise On Recorded Track

Posted on

I am a beginner at recording though I've been trying at it for a few months. I tried recording a test track in Audacity to see if I had done alright with the settings on my mixer. Everything seems to be fine except for a faint buzzing noise. I'm not sure what is causing this but it starts when the keyboard comes in and stops when the keyboard stops. Is there some sort of filter in Audacity that can fix this or am I doing something wrong in my setup?

If it helps, I have a Yamaha E413 keyboard, a Behringer Xenyx 1202 mixer, and a Behringer UCA202.

Here's an MP3 of it: www.mediafire.com/?ycngh7v2xgisce8

Thank you so much

That crackling sound has all the hallmarks of a poor connection somewhere in the signal path. Check all of your patch cables and use a good electrical contact cleaner in your potentiometers and pushbutton switches.
