Having just gone down a rabbit hole something like this recently, I can say that nobody here can begin to help without have a pretty detailed description of the hardware involved, along with a description of the DAW recording input/output levels, AI/preamp levels, and a non-lossy download of the audio file in question - preferably the raw track from the DAW project assets, and not a mixed/bounced version.
But, that's just me, and with the 10lb of turkey and pecan pie still stretching the seams of my sweatpants, I'm going to have to pass on this one in favor of more napping... and please, no diet advice! (But seriously, if you have a real technical problem, start by providing some technical details. I realize the site has limited your ability to post links or add attachments for a while, so maybe actively participate to get your post count up, too; and then you can add some links/files.)
