Yes, the problem is also there. I have an external mic and even when I plug
it out and record something from my MD I have the same noises. So it would
not be the mic. At the first time I thought it was the mic but this is not so.

All programmers are optimists. Perhaps this modern sorcery especially attracts
those who believe in happy endings and fairy godmothers. Perhaps the hundreds
of nitty frustrations drive away all but those who habitually focus on the end
goal. Perhaps it is merely that computers are young, programmers are younger,
and the young are always optimists. But however the selection process works,
the result is indisputable: "This time it will surely run," or "I just found
the last bug."
