Hello!

I'm trying to do some basic recording with my keyboard and I am getting some unwanted noise. In essence, the keyboard sounds much less clear and pure (that's the best I can describe it) on a recording than when I am playing it. I'm using same headphones for both.

I've uploaded a sample mp3 as it's quite hard for me to describe the noise using words: https://ufile.io/w7tdn

I am a bit of a novice with recording tech, so this may be a well-known type of noise that one of you immediately recognises.

It's worse with some sound settings than others. The concert grand (in the recording) is about average. The electric piano sound is worse. Strings and the like are not so bad.

My equipment:

- Kawai ES110 keyboard (sounds crystal clear when I play it)

- Behringer UMC204HD audio interface (latest drivers are installed)

- 2x jack leads to connect the keyboard with the audio interface (not sure of the exact models but they seem fine when I use them on other things)

- OS: Windows 7

- Software: BIAB, RealBand, Audacity, Sound Recorder (it seems to be the same on all software)

Please let me know if any more info would be helpful.

Thanks very much!
