Hi, I make music and am totally new to recording. I've been using a borrowed h4n for a while and despite trouble shooting by myself for a long time it's still clipping. I have it plugged into my laptop and record about a foot and 1/2 away (acoustic guitar + voice, not sure if that's relevant). Everything is set to 48000 hz and 16-bit. I try to keep the levels between -20 and -12.
It might be that I'm just getting too loud at certain points, but I'd like to rule anything else out/figure out how to stay at a good volume. Thanks in advance and sorry if I don't make sense.
edit: forgot to add, i'm using audacity
