Hi everyone,
I do some home recording stuff for myself and my band and have been doing it for some time now. My set up is drum mics --> saffire pro 40 interface --> macbook pro with logic.
There is one problem I am having at the moment that never used to be a problem but has popped up recently. When I record, the floor tom has this extremely distorted sound, so much that I have used apptrigga to completely replace the floor tom sound, which is no biggie, I'm only doing non-proffessional recordings. But I would like to know what the cause of the problem is and eventually stop it from happening. I am nearly 100% positive that it is not the mics, cables or interface. I have switched channel inputs, used different mics and cables, and it only occurs with my floor tom.
Is it possible that the floor tom is the source of this problem and that it creates low frequencies, causing the sound to be distorted? The tom sound fine to my ear, and although I'm not a tuning virtuoso, I'm not a complete noob either. Has anyone had problems like this one before and do they know the cause?
Thanks!
