Okay, so I have been trying to record my cajon with my LDC that can take 140 SPL. I have been placing the mic in front of the cajon, and I was wondering if it is too loud for the mic. I read that high SPL can stretch the diaphragm of a large diaphragm mic. I know I am probably over reacting...

Thanks y'all! Like I said, I am new to this and don't have a ton of experience, especially with Sonar. I got it all fixed now thanks!
