how’d that turn out?

Wow what an amazing moment. I see more people on this thread than I’ve seen in the whole Audio group for several YEARS! Hello, everyone!!!
On to the problem. Still no on speakers for me, but several thoughts.
Types of interference exist today that were not around when the Sennheiser G3 came out.
Perhaps the age of the G3 is starting to show. There may be electronic components that aren’t working the way they should.
Power up the unit into whatever you had it plugged into when this occurred, put the headphones on and see if you can reproduce the problem.
Move cell phones closer. Wiggle the cables (including mic cable) to try to provoke your noise. If possible do this in the same exact location you were in when it happened.
Try a different mic. Mic cables can get distressed over time, frequently at the ends; where the connector and mic are.
I had a friend with a rhythmic RF problem traced back to the radar at Logan Airport in Boston. He was 5 miles or more away but on the top floor of his house and the radar tower was visible.
Phantom power on the camera or mixer recorder should be turned off for this track.
Can you reproduce the problem?
Regards,
Ty Ford

Rats. Sorry, not hearing it here. Footsteps and throat clear, yes.

Hello Jean,
I think I’m the Audio Forum Leader, but these days, who knows!
Anyhow. Hmmmm. I read recently that there’s a reason the Apple USB cables cost more. They use more of the many connections in the cable. Another thought. I had a similar USB issue last year. Turns out, the USB cable itself was defective. Then there’s the idea that the USB connector on the other device has been mangled. Please do let us know what you discover! Thanks for stopping by.
OH, and you said you were trying to connect the DJI transmitter? Not the receiver?

Your very welcome! Used to create insrtumental beds for radio and TV spots when I worked in radio. I liked starting with a full track from a library of production music; maybe 2-3 minutes for a 30 second spot. I’d listen to the end of the music track in hopes of finding a natural out. Then I’d see how long it was. Say 8 seconds. Then I listen to the beginning of the music track. The very beginning might or might not have the right energy. If it didn’t, maybe 5 seconds in would be the spot. Then see what happens for the next 22 seconds and add the last 8 seconds. The whole music track was just raw material from which I cut my 30 second bed. There are many ways to skin that cat!

A cold out is simply that the song ends instead of fading out.
If you’re close in time but the music is too short, stretching it with software is problematic because you’re asking the software to fill in extra space. Making a longer piece shorter by time compressing it is less problematic because you’re taking away minute sections. -
Help me out, Bob. What are you stuck on?

Hi Robert,
It’s an art. It’s a craft. It’s a dessert topping.
I’ve been editing existing tracks for decades and there are times when you can’t do what you want to do. First and most importantly, do you own the music or have rights to its use? If you don’t, your biggest problem may be a copyright violation suit.But on to the surgery. If you want a cold out, try going to the end of the piece, if it has a cold out. Then find a place where that out or and ending including the out makes musical sense. That could be anywhere from a second to any number of seconds before the end. Make that edit and problem solved. If you’re close in time, but are too long, try time compressing the piece to fit. Usually stretching a piece of music to fill a space doesn’t sound as good.
Cheers

Hi Zeke,
Sounds like a broken or intermittent wire to me. Either the mic cable or the cable from the receiver to the mixer.

What kind of noise?
