Here's my problem. I make beats, I use a Usb Sampler as my sampler.
Whenever I sample, lets say off my Technics home amp. I get this loud
buzzing and high pitched sound in the background. I can't get rid of it.
I get no buzz when I sample from my portable cd player. Any tips?

Could be several things. Ground loop, noise from the Technics microprocessor
radiating, or here's one: the computer's power supply radiating into the
Technics, then getting picked up through the USB.
I only suggest this because I've had a similar situation at work.

This is due to an electrical ground loop between devices. Their audio must be
separated by a high quality transformer like the JKAudio Pureformer:

We have them in stock US$59.00

It is battery operated and presents no ground loop.
