Neptune static issues/ troubleshooting

[RudyPMagic]

Peace family,

I'm currently using Reason 8. I like to incorporate autotune via Neptune. While using it today, I repeatedly heard an annoying static-y sound. I insert Neptune before any equing, compression, or effects. However, I am still getting static. Has anyone else had this problem or have any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance

Hearing static would most likely have something with your audio setup/mic. How do you have everything hooked up? What Audio device are you using, what mic...ect?

Ye, neptune should cause an increase in your noise floor.
Check you raw recording.

Be sure to have proper shielded balanced cables, and that sorta stuff.

I'm using a Presonus Audiobox (2x2) and an AKG P120 Perception Cond. Mic. I think the problem was that my cord(s) were mashed during the recording phase. Thank you for your assistance!

The cables were the problem. Thank you for the help!
