What it sounds like is that you are getting feedback from your speakers. Turn down the sound or try a set of headphones to see if that eliminates the problem.
Hope this helps. Bud

    Two
    things can cause high pitch noise and static.


    First,
    If you have your speakers turned up to high it will give you feedback causing
    distortion and static. I recommend using a headset when videoing.


    Second
    reason is, if you are using a laptop and have added an external microphone
    between the two it will cause distortion and static.


    Not
    knowing the configuration of your computer makes it harder to analyze the
    problem.


    So
    hope this is of some help. Bud

There is a horrible echo whenever i try to record and then there's a loud noice that sounds like a very high-pitched whistle and i don't know what to do.

This type of audio feedback loop can happen on any mic if you are playing back audio at a loud volume on speakers that are close to the mic while the mic is on - which tends to happen on Skype calls. Try lowering your speaker volume or using headphones to hear the audio, then speak into mic, and the feedback should be reduced.

I am getting a high pitch poping sound from my atm25 bass drum mic

If this is only when you hit the bass drum, it's picking up feedback from being too far inside the drum or pointed at the wrong part of the head. Use a mic stand and position the mic off to the side, but in front of the head, pointed at the midway point between the center and edge of the drum head. This should eliminate the problem. If the noise is still present, have someone qualified to work on microphones look at it to determine what the problem is.


Hope that helps!

I get a humming sound when I record a video

There a quite a few reasons why this could happen.

  1. The sound device could be malfunctioning.
  2. The cables are not plugged in all the way.
  3. The camera may be close to a noise maker such as a fan, air conditioner, or your PC fan.
  4. The sound wires could be crossed with an electrical wire which sometimes creates static or a hum.
  5. If you are using a normal Microphone, there could be static on the port or connector.
  6. The record volume levels are too high, or mic boost has been enabled and is picking up extra sound.
I hope one of these examples helps to fix your problem, if it doesn't, please get back with me and we can try something else. Good luck!
