Well,
The first song sounds about right. Since I have been fooling with recordings since about 1956 a few things I have learned. There is a Level/Volume Control for a reason. To prevent recording gross distortion. The Meters on a Tape Recorder when reaching the Red are, if I'm not mistaken, it's been so long, is at 3 percent THD, (Total Harmonic Distortion) of which is perfectly acceptable and many recordings on Tape probably have reached that level.

With recording on a Digital Device going into the Red is a No. No! So it is best to set that level to about 70 percent of the max and your recordings will come out all right.

Dynamic Range is the measurement of a recording device's ability to capture the lowest to the loudest passages without max distortion. Better Audio Tape Recorders could easily measure a 50 to 55 Db range. I think Digital is even better. So the recommended (Mine) setting of about 70 percent is more than adequate.

When you go into the distortion of a Digital Device it sounds like an electrical storm on an AM Radio or gross scratches on a Vinyl Record.

OK. My bill is on it's way!
