I would like you to listen to it:

I don't normally do this, but since it was a fairly short file I took
a listen. It sounds like a pretty consistently distorted guitar to me
and I can't tell any diference in the sound around 14-15 seconds.
Either something is getting lost in the translation or I'm just not
sensitive to the subtlties of horribly distorted guitar.

Try the same thing with a clean guitar sound.


OR, move the microphone out to the edge of the speaker where it won't get
as bright a sound from the amp.

About the mic sound:
It was the first time I tried the miking method as described on the
shure website: dead center, 4" away from the grill. That should give
an "well-balanced, natural" tone. Indeed, it's rather bright.

About the noise:
I took another track with the mic more on the edge: it's more obvious.
But the real problem is:
That problem occurs only in the digital domain.
I tried the analog output and there, the crispy noise doesn't
exist. Even with a somewhat hotter signal.
That's why I thought it was jitter. It isn't, as I learned.
I have some options left:
- dropouts caused by a bad RCA cable
- dropouts caused by bad latency settings/buffer sizes
- bad syncing mode (Sonar set to "Full Midi Chase")

I have prepared yet another mp3 using a clean guitar,
played by someone else. It's about 300KB and lasts only 7 seconds.
I don't want to waste your time and I appreciate your help very much.
Believe me, in this sample, it's absolutely obvious.

I'm sorry for any inconvinience.
PLEASE HELP ME! ;-)

Kind Regards
