Air noise when muting?

[drawnacrol]

Hey guys, I'm getting a weird air like noise when I mute, here's is an example

My signal chain is:
Schecter C-7 Hellraiser with EMG 707s - Saffire Pro 24 - Macbook - Logic 9

I'm using Pod Farm 2 with a high noise gate but I think its coming in late or something, any tips or solutions would be a great help, Cheers!!!

you could gate it in logic or just chop the dead space out inbetween playing. thats what i do.

I'd almost wonder if you have a dirty cable or contact or something, it's like the noise is actually louder than the distortion itself. I don't think gating that any more is gonna fix the problem, it'll just make the hissing stop sooner but you'll still hear it over the tone for sure.

you need to mute better yo, this is one of those "tone is in the fingers" things. try muting down by the bridge too with your palm, and when you mute the strings on the neck, use as much hand as you can as close to the nut as possible. the air noise you're hearing is basically a mild accidental harmonic combined with an amp tone that exploits it. try experimenting with both the technique and the drive/eq on your amp to see if you can find a combination that works for you to dial it out.
