Hi.

I'm recording a song on GarageBand, and I'm mic-ing the amplifier until I get an effects processor. For my equipment, I have:

-A Samson dynamic microphone
-A Line 6 Spider IV 30 amplifier
-A Douglas Hadron 725. I recently had its action lowered, in case this may have an effect.

When I play anything on the low 'B' string, I hear a harmonic-like noise when it comes out in the recording and it's very frustrating. :scratch: This does not happen on any other string. What may be the cause of this? Is there something I can do to stop it from happening?

Try tying a hair band or the like around the strings behind the nut. There will be resonances there if the section of the string isn't dampened.
