Distortion when recording
I have a problem with distortion which sounds rather like clipping when I am recording an audio track. If I listen to the audio track whilst I am recording it is "clean" and there is certainly no sign that it is running out of headroom.
When I play the recorded audio back it is seriously degraded - very "choppy" but this is not clipping. There is plenty of headroom in the track.
I have other tracks created using Midi and VSTi's and they are playing fine. The problem only occurs when I try to record audio through the Mic input of my M-Audio FW410. I have swapped the FW410 out for another interface but the problem persists which leads me to think that it is a SONAR issue, not an interface issue.
I have also tried swapping the driver from WDM/KS to ASIO and there is no change to the problem.
Any suggestions?
