Yes, itīs definitely digital distortion.
I can see and hear it in the tracks and it happens with all mics.


So turn it down. That's why you have a volume control on the preamp.

Horns have a very spiky waveform.... the average level is much lower
than the peak level. This was always a problem in the analogue world
because you couldn't believe your VU meters and had to record at much
lower levels than the meters indicated. Thank God we don't have to deal
with that any more.
