Hum?

Is it just me, or are you guys hearing a loud hum on steelradio.com ? Approx 250Hz + harmonics maybe?

'Just logged on with WinAmp, and am also getting the Hum you describe.

fwiw, I checked another of my regular listening channels, and I'm not getting a hum there: http://www.gdradio.net/

Are you still getting a hum? We thought we isolated the problem. How are things now?

We have a totally different set up this year and it's confusing me!!!

Earnest Bovine · Post by **Earnest Bovine** » 30 Aug 2007 9:28 am

Yes, the hum is still there. It was there last night too, during the Don Curtis show. It was the same while he played CDs and when he was speaking.

You now have the sound coming form the console and sounds good.

Really sounds fabulous now....at first this morning I thought a metal filling in my tooth was picking up a signal from the microwave lol.

The hum is still there, same as during the Don Curtis broadcast last night. But as long as you keep the program level up, it doesn't spoil the show.

Thanks fellas! We had a really hot bass amp just a bit ago that may be contributing to the hum. I've finally got myself straightened out with this silly board. I now know which buttons to move!!

Lana, thank you for doing such a great job bringing us these shows.
With regard to the hum, let me try to explain more clearly. It is not a bass amp or anything on stage. It's coming from something further downstream than the stage, or your mic, or the CD player that the station uses. We know this because the hum is there now, while you guys are on dinner break, and the station is playing CDs. The hum is at a constant level all the time.

Ernest

Thanks for the more detail. So is it a faint hum? Something you hear more prominently during vocals or music? I'm just trying to narrow our search.

I'll let the 'engineers' know and see what we can do. Bare with us please.

Thanks Again!

I don't want to seem like I'm complaining too much. When the band plays, it drowns out most of the hum. So I'm enjoying the show.

If the "engineers" point their web browser to http://www.steelradio.com/ and click on the logo at the top of the page, it would do more good than my trying to explain.

Again, great show and thank you! (but don't you think it's awfully country!?!?)

Ernest - I've passed your information along. Hopefully we can get the hum cleared up.

Trust me, by the time the weekend is up, you'll hear all kinds!

Thanks for tuning in!

Unfortunately the hum (it's about a "B") is still very audible this morning when I turn on Winamp.

I'm enjoying the programs but the hum seems to be getting louder.

All I am getting on Steel Radio is intermittant. It goes to 80% buffer then starts over at 20%. So it is not resolving. Anyone have any ideas why it is doing that?....al

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 31 Aug 2007 6:46 pm

Well, I don't know what happend but now I got Steel Radio, plsying "Pick me up on the Way down" , along with a slight hum. Everything ok now, enjoying it...al.

Okay, we did some slight modifying last night (or should I say the wee hours of this morning) to try and kill the hum/buzz. Let me know if it helps. If not, it has to be in a cable somewhere or from the house. That's what they tell me anyway.

Thanks!

I tuned in after the show was over last night, and still heard the hum on the recorded music. I can hear it now on the live music too.

The music drowns it out, but it's very noticeable between songs. Maybe it's a watermark to prevent piracy!

Hi guys
I posted an email to Lana but will post here to for those that might like to try it

I used my korg tunner and beat tuned it to the hum and determined it to be about 450 hz

Using winamp equalizer pulled 310 and 600 slides all the way down about eliminated the hum completely.

Didn't hurt the sound quality either
It should work with any program that has an equalizer with it so give it a try.
