Ok I'm a newbie when it comes to explaining things......this is my set up an at4040 going to an art tube project series preamp to a sound card......everything has sounded good until last night the mic start glitching or clipping.........let me explain when I record the waves are full but when I don't say anything every second there's a small line that goes on the bottom part of the wave.......hmm I'm sorry I don't know what words to use.......can anyone help please
 
Probably the best thing would be to do a screen shot of what waveform looks like, or an MP3 of what it sounds like....
or both.
 
Where is the mic stored? Is it in a nice dry enviroment or is there a chance it might have got a bit 'damp'?
My mics live in a dry box full of silica gel sachets that I (very) occasionally dry out.
 
Ill get a screen shot as well as an mp3..........the mic is only a few weeks old.......it stayed in my garage for a week then I put it away in the box it came in for a week so I doubt it got damp
