    "Just because the sound comes and goes does not eliminate a ground loop. it could very well be that there is another device somewhere else in the system tied to the ground that is intermittent. Ground loop does not have to be constant. even tough it Typically it is but not always" As SHARYNF...

    Severe noise

    I agree with everything, except the very last statement. We have just completed a full upgrade of the sound system at my venue. This included having a 100% dedicated power supply and ground for just the sound system. That detail was the first thing installed and after that 90% of our troubles...

    "Theater Sound" By John A Leonard is a good one. Don't know if that is the one that mbenonis ment or not. Also as a sound designer it is good to know about the recording aspects too.

    Help with project

    Roland Sp 404 Not sure the price but it is capable of doing just what you are asking for. It has a decent size for storage and it is smartcard compatable. Not sure the exact sample length but I know it is near 2 minutes. Good luck

    Touch something metal before you handle audio equipment in Winter.

    Even though the board may be grounded properly; if the rest of the system is not on the same isolated ground you could still get the pops. Learning to discharge yourself is probably the best and cheapest way to deal with the situation.
