Direct bass overloading clipping
Forums
I'm recording a bass direct into my DAW and getting a lot of clipping/popping/overloading, and I can't quite figure out where the problem is. To get the particular sound I want from this bass part, I have to hit the strings quite hard--harder than I normally play. Going direct into my Focusrite 2i2's instrument input, I would get pops on the pick attack.

Clipping with the Scarlett internal preamp
Forums
HI all, I have a Scarlett 18i8 that I bought so that I could mic my drums which it does fine but I noticed that when I went to mic my vocals I clip with the louder decibels. I haven't really experimented with compression and/or limiters) I ventured and bought a better mic to solve the problem. Not the best but a nice AKG C314 . But I'm still clipping when my vocals start to rise in volume.

Help with Strange clipping vocal phenomenon?
Forums
Hello :-) so I'm recording the vocals for my song and I noticed some clipping on loud parts. The strange thing here is that when I solo the vocal track the clipping is gone, completely nonexistent. And it doesn't look red on the waveform. But when the piano is unmute it, the clipping is audibly present, but no red Signal.

Hello Masters of the Craft,
I have read through your boards for the past few days and though, maybe, you can help me.
I am not a recording star of any significance and do not profess to know ANYTHING about recording. I just sing online for fun and therapy.
That being said, I recently graduated from my Microsoft Headset mic to a condenser mic and interface.
Clipping guitar pedal loses mojo when volume lowered
Forums
So.. I'm recording some guitar and one side of the channel clips or the waveform periodically looks like a solid block, but when the volume is lowered or attenuated in any way, the pedal being used by the guitar totally loses it's 'mojo'. WTF?
Any ideas on how to cure clipping in a situation like this? I've tried several different things and nothing has helped yet..
Sounds like it's clipping but all level meters show otherwise. help!
Forums
I'm attempting a very simple master with just some EQ, compression and limiting but I've run into a slight problem. Every time I add my limiter to get my track to a good volume, it pops and crackles like the track is clipping. I have a sound metering plugin after each plugin as well as the one on the track itself and nothing is indicating any kind of clipping.
Does Clipping damage the mic?
Forums
Does clipping when recording actually damage the mic at all or just produce an unpleasant sound?
Thanks
