When i record my guitar through my alesis studio mixer into my maudio delta 66 into cubase i get this weird bassy whoosh... is the only way to describe it. both wheni go direct from a line6 adn from micing an amp. Its like everytime a certain lower frequency is hit, it like swells up and is quite annoying. I thought at first it was jsut my friends sound system, which is like a home theater type deal, so i thought an unmixed unmastered signal just reacted too much to his overamped system, but i brought it home adn into my car, and that whoosh is everywhere.
any ideas?

Was anything else plugged into the mixer ?... maybe y'a left a mic on in the room, and it was feedbacking just that freq ? Did it ever do that before ?

I used to get that happening to me when my bass strings needed replacing, I'd replace them and the volume swell/woosh would disappear...it's just that frequency resonating...it sucks.

Did you have a drum kit in the room with you and the snare rattle? Anything else that would do a "sympathetic" harmonic, such as a furnace duct? (mic only, of course.) A plug-in you had in the master section of Cubase, and you were monitoring the recorded channel? A string hitting the fret, and you weren't monitoring? Are you talking about a noise like at the beginning of the Beatles "I Feel Fine"? A 440 "A" note? (I'm full of questions, aren't I?) (Well, besides other things...)
