Hi guys, I'm a noob for sure, but am trying to record my drums straight from PA to laptop but keep getting clipping, muddied sound. I have a nice set of drum mics but Im wondering what im doing wrong within the interface of nch. Lowered volumes on PA and laptop but am still getting a muddy, clipping sound. Keep in mind, I'm a noob to all of this, thx! I dont have the money right now to buy an extra mic input, such as presonus or tascam but am trying a relativeley easy way to record my drums to upload to friends so theycan work with it...
