Re: Main outs question

Excellent point!  I do have everything on the same circuit.  The Emu and mixer are on the 
same power strip.  The amp is plugged into a different power strip which is plugged into 
the same outlet I'm on.

This whole set up is temporary.  I was asked to a timpani drum track for a song at church-
the death march.  The rheostats for the lighting are the source of the buzzing I'm sure, but 
I thought it was odd that only the Emu presents it.
