See attached. I've had this happen before, this occurred in the middle of tracking something, just suddenly started adding this noise to everything. Ideas?

Isn't that your normal sound? Hey oh!


For real though, check the usual suspects: cables, mic, etc.
 
Did you raise your volume on your track/channels at the point of the clipping/distortion in order to get a more dynamic range to your music? Go back and check it out. It's common to raise levels a bit for effect (like during a chorus/instrumental). But if it goes "in the red" at that point, it will clip/distort when you record right at that spot. If so, lower the overall tracks to begin with to give you more headroom for when you raise those parts so nothing goes over the threshhold.
