[QUOTE="Rob presson, post: 216184, member: 14902"] I have the h4n and it has a limiter and compressor that can be turned on with internal and external mics. I assume the pro has it as well. Check: [URL]https://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/696718/zoom-h4n.html?page=70[/URL] So check your manual. It does have it, and it is likely WHY there is a problem. On my zoom the mic goes from 1-99 I believe, and for recording sources that are NOT speech from twenty feet I use 2-5 as the input volume, however, I have not tried this like you are using it. If there is a compressor or limiter turned on (default I believe) and you set the input volume above xx (8? 10? ) then you will get exactly what you are hearing. With it enabled, you can record at too high a volume and it will work but there will be artifacts/issues when you push. Your issue is most likely due to not having a proper gain structure or there is something in the signal path that is changing things. BTW, to me "USB mode" is confusing. interface vs. an internal recording. I asked for two recordings one each way so that I could try doing a null test (google it) to see what the actual differences were. The only way to do this though would be to simultaneously record to internal storage AND record to your DAW and copy the raw output file to two separate files. hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
