Since you are using a headphones amp, as is normal for these low-end keyboards, you should use your stereo splitter, and try to get male quarter inch to male RCA cables. I have some here that I use on my lt, guitar center sells them for about 10ft for about 10 bucks. The signal you are feeding the interface is not line-level, a bit hotter, so you need to watch your volume when connected to the card. But even then, you don't want to use those pre's for anything other than mic or guitars etc. So get a pair of quarter inch to RCA cables and hook them up to your splitter and go that route.

Trying to eliminate the problem is sort of hard when you have 0 1/4 inch ins on the soundcard. Really couldn't see paying an extra $600 for 2 1/4 inch ins on a doc. The cable is new and in good shape. Guess the best I can try is putting RCA adaptors on the 2 1/4 inch mono ends and doing what DJX recommended. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Smart Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 6:08 PM To: JSonar -- JAWS Scripts for Sonar discussion list Subject: Re: [Jsonar] Getting rid of hum/hiss I would try getting the correct cables so you can eliminate the adapters, just to rule out one variable. If you can get balanced cables, that might get rid of the hum although it isn't a sure thing. If you have Sound Forge, one of the EQ plug-ins has a preset for removing hum that uses four stacked notch filters. Do you have the Sonitus effects with your copy of Sonar? If so, use the Sonitus EQ and set up narrow bands to cut at 60 HZ and multiples of 60, 120, 180, etc. I doubt you're just getting the fundamental at 60 HZ; usually there are some harmonics in there as well. But, before filtering with software, which might negatively affect the audio you do want to hear, try to figure out where the noise is coming from and correct things there, with better cables etc. Chris _______________________________________________ Find JSonar and Sonar FAQs, articles, guides and downloads at jsonar.org.
