Got about an hour of editing done this morning; I actually have a question for the comm!

So the reason I had to delete Sunday's recording was that there was a bunch of feedback--not background noise, but a loud electric hum--through most of the recording. I've had this happen to me once before, too, and I'm having a hell of a time figuring out why.

Someone suggested it was bc my laptop was plugged in/charging while recording, but I have always recorded w/ it plugged in before w/o a problem.

The first time it happened I thought it was because I was recording sitting at a table & kept leaning forward/back toward/away from the laptop; thought maybe the varying distance of mic/laptop was an issue (I use a headset mic). But I didn't do that last time & it still happened.

It's happened in two different houses--neither of them mine--and I've gotten a clean recording in one of those houses, too.

I am at a total loss! Any ideas?
