Sampling from an 808 (eliminating noise)

[Mindstate]

Has anyone had any experience sampling an 808 into a PC? I was trying to do this the other day, and there was a humming sound in the background. I'm looking for a way to remove the hum. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Maybe the Drum machine has a short. Or it could be the wires you are using to connect to your pc. Do u run it into a mixer then into your pc? How are you recording it? What program?

If you hear humming... your soundcard probably sucks. So I suggest getting a better sound card, then play the sound out and record it with a wav editor such as: soundforge, cool edit etc. and chop it up. U might want to use some filter to give it a deeper sound.
