Hissing White Noise When Using Maschine

DJ Go-iLL

Has anyone had an issue with Maschine where suddenly hissing white noise overtakes your ability to use the Maschine Software. I've had Maschine for a while and have had this happen when using my Maschine Studio Controller and when in Standalone Mode using the Maschine Software. Could this be a plugin issue or something else. I'm completely lost and this is extremely frustrating.

Well, when this noise occurs do you see any signals in any parts of the Maschine software?

It it is a loud noise after a period (set a stopwatch maybe) then it could be some plugin you have that is in demo mode and times out with white noise. Just a wild stab in the night...

Long shot, but could it be this issue? How to Resolve Ground Loop Issues (Hum or Buzzing Noises)

I am using Maschine Studio for years and Maschine SW on 3 different computers and no hiss ever.

So, it might be ground loop or some other problem specific to your computer/controller.

The first minute user experience after my first maschine+ connecting

- don't you think the machine self-noise is too much? Even in an empty project, connected directly to studio monitors, the self-noise is very high (when no masking sound is playing) ... compared to Akai Force on the exactly same setup, where there is NO audible self noise. I mean continual noise, no sudden pops or waves yet. No inputs running, no gain on inputs.

I like the Maschine+, but this is sign of cheap preamps, what a bad visit card.

I assume rather a bad gain staging in the current signal chain, ground loops, bad wall socket or wrong, e.g. unbalanced, cables. Result: Poor S/N ratio. Today's (pre) amps are good enough.

My M+ signal chain doesn't hiss.

Yes, you are right. M+ has a different output impedance. I send the signal directly to active monitors so I must keep the output volume around 5%. That is the moment of low s/r ratio. But in normal chain with a mixing desk I can raise volume over 50% so the noise is gone. Thanks guys. I am really happy for the M+.

I have the same issue- when connecting directly to my studio monitors, there is too much of self-noise - even with the output volume at 0db.

When going through an audio interface the noise is gone.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
