so, i have a new recording setup and everything. it's all exactly the way i used to have it on my current pc except now with a different pc.

the audio was fucking awful. turns out windows audio enhancements was the culprit. i don't have that on my pc so i never thought to check. anyway, it cleared up the audio.

then, however, there was this god awful noise and high pitched tone. i thought i had gotten rid of that by using a ground loop isolator thingy which did a great job. it wasn't doing fuck all now though apparently.

super confused, take it all back to my usual pc and it all sounds completely perfect as it should.

take it back downstairs, reconnect everything but with different usb ports and outlets, and it sounds totally fine. okay, it must have been a bad outlet or port or something.

NOW HERE'S WHERE IT GETS FUCKING WEIRD

i go and listen to that recording that had the noise and high pitched tone. IT'S GONE. IT'S FUCKING GONE. i replug everything back the way i had it before, sans audio enhancements, and it sounds COMPLETELY PERFECT. THE TONE IN THE RECORDING IS STILL GONE.

WHAT THE FUCK I HATE COMPUTERS I HATE AUDIO SHIT

i feel like i just fucking HALLUCINATED THE WHOLE THING
