I tested this further by unplugging everything from all of the inputs, shutting monitor off, putting the gain all the way down, turning phantom off, etc., etc. and the meter still registers noise coming through the inputs. If I put the threshold to close to 0, or just enough to match the input noise level (which I can see in the meter), I am able to record it. Keep in mind again, there aren't any sound sources plugged into any of the Ren's inputs. When I do have something plugged into the Ren's inputs, the same issue occurs. I only unplugged everything to test whether or not it was noise coming from the incoming signal (mixer/turntable) or if it was something with the Ren. It's concerning because that means that there is some level of noise being mixed in with whatever I am sampling. I assume that normal behavior is for the Ren to not register any noise if nothing is being passed through the inputs. Has anyone had this issue? Is there a way to fix it?
I've had this happen on and off when I first got my Ren back on version 1.0....it was intermittent and a few times it was due to me having the switches set wrong (mic vs phono, etc...), but other times they were set right and I would have a signal registering. Never found out what was causing it conclusively, but I don't seem to have it happening anymore these days....
