...oh, sorry, I understand what you are doing now.
Whilst recording, Sonar paints an "estimate".
When you stop, it then draws the waveform according to the real, stored data.
OK, so that is the waveform. Your vox superimposed over some really loud sub bass.
Well, I guess a faulty mic is a possibility. It just doesn't look like a faulty condenser or dry joint. It really looks audio/mechanical, not electronic.
Try with a simple live mic if you can get one. Shure 58, something like that.
They have built-in rolloff below 200Hz and they have no electronics, so if you still get this, it must be the interface or something else.
Edit: Yes, but the carpet is standing on - what kind of floor? Concrete? But OK, I'm sure if the carpet was on a wood floor, you would have said.
