Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240, a Shure sm57 mic and an Alesis 4-channel audio mixer. When I first tried recording sound into Ableton with my microphone, the sound came out very distorted. There were clicking sounds and the actual voice itself was warped. I tried then recording with the internal mic of the computer to see if the mic was the issue, but even that gave off the same quality. I even tried working with Audacity to see if it was a software issue (same problems as Ableton). When I recorded with my mic onto Garageband on an Apple computer, the sound played back beautifully.
I am pretty sure this is not any sort of clipping problem, but I was wondering if anybody might know what the problem is and how I might go about fixing it?
Thanks in advance!
