Microphone issues 2009-03-17 18:31:16


I got my new microphone through the mail today but its distorting sounds. This screen shot of the spectral frequency display of me talking into it should better illustrate the issues and the added problem with Audition, but that was lagging and jumping like that with everything at the time I recorded so that my be completely unrelated. I've tried the microphone with two cables and in both Audition 3 and Sound Recorder, with more or less the same results.

Other than the obvious mic being broke, what could be causing the problems?
Its a Samson Q1U if that helps any.

Install all drivers, all SoftPre and try again.
If still have problems, try adjusting volume, make less volume. This is how you should deal with clipping... I guess...

I'm pretty sure the drivers aren't the issue; I've used other USB mics on my computer without problems before and its supposed to be a plug and play device. Clipping isn't an issue.

Ignore me, I'm an idiot; I forgot the age old insta-fix method for any electronics: Turning it off then back on again.
