greg54 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'm using a Warm Audio WA12 Mkll for a mic preamp, a Focusrite 18i20 interface, and a Stam Audio 87 condenser mic. I have the mic preamp set to where the levels get barely past the green when singing louder. And yet when I record, I get distortion at certain places. I don't know why. Suggestions are welcome.

Bristol_Jonesey Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Which input are you plugging into on the Focusrite? What happens if you go straight into the Focusrite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg54 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 I plug into input 2. It's the same if I go direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Turn down the input gain on your interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Oakes Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I’ve always found the Focusrite pre-amps to be more than just ok. Cut out the pre-amp and see if that gets you back to normal levels. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
