Well,,,,, there is a point at which I must realize just how stupid I am and fess up with some more enlightening information. I must be getting forgetful in my old age. Ready for a good Laugh?????
So i drove myself crazy for a week now trying to isolate the noise. I brilliantly figured last night that since i have a spare console laying around, i should hook that up to the existing Remote CPU and see what happens. To my delight, 50% of the noise disappeared. While trouble shooting channels I realized that the gain / trim pots were at least 60% turned up on the remaining channels, and when i turned them down, 90% of the noise floated away. So then I took a peak at the trim pots on the console I just replaced and noticed that the majority of them we stationed at approximately 40% - 65% on.... Oh Boy did I feel stupid. Tonight i will put my original console back and turn them down to see what the result is. I bet it will be a lot quieter.. So I am left with sum cycle hum on the Mackie 32x8 Bus which is existent even if nothing is plugged into it. I also noticed that on the 32X8 buss, the left channel buses bleed into the right. If I mute the right side buss, signals on the left channel can be heard on the on the right buss when you raise the left fader. If I mute the left buss, nothing is heard at all on either buss no matter which channel fader is moved up.
2 d8b's 5.1 OS all the plugins, Mackie 32.8 Bus, 2 iMAC 27", Apollo 8 Quad, Cubase 9, Logic Pro X, VEP 6, 4 TB of VSTi Libraries, 28 Roland, Yamaha & Korg Synths and Keyboards, NI Hardware and Software.. Plugins, Plugins, and the list goes on...
