I'm having a problem with distortion on vocal tracks. Loud passages become distorted. The only way I've been able to mitigate this is to turn down the pre input level sensitivity. But then the recording is very quiet and distortion appears when I digitally amplify the track in the mix later (CEP).
The microphone is Studio Projects B1, protected by a pop filter, placed 24" from the vocalist. I've tried connecting this two ways
1. via a preamp (Behringer MIC100)
2. direct to mixer
The mixer is Yamaha MG10/2. Then the signal goes into the PC
Direct to mixer is better but still has some distortion.
Any suggestions?
