VF160 pops in tracks.

[Brahmb]

Hey. I'm new to the forum. I purchased a VF160 in September and have enjoyed its versatility and ease of use so far. However, I have what I hope is a minor and easily fixed problem.

I recorded a practice CD with a Korg going directly to line 1 of the VF160, and an AT mic going into line 7 and then line 8 for vocals and backup. I then downloaded all the recordings via optical line to Protools LE for editing. I noticed several digital pops, not only in the vocals, but also in the piano. I was able to clean up the major pops easily enough, but under intense magnification, couldn't even locate some of the pops, even though I heard them. I didn't have nearly as much clipping during recording (once or twice per track) as I did pops (12-20). Were my levels too high anyway? I had to set the mics high because the singer wasn't strong, but that doesn't explain the piano pops.

Later.
