I asked this question in the Fostex forum, but then decided I might get a broader viewing/answer.
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.
