What's up guys,
So I am using a Tascam tm78 (microphone) on Logic X via XLR connection to my Presonus Audiobox USB 2x2.
I have a late 2015 iMac i5, 16gb computer.
For the past few hours I have been struggling with getting a clean and clear sound recorded. You cannot hear anything unless you bring the gain and headphone knobs very high; at which point you hear only a distorted and clipping audio.
As a test I dragged an MP3 into my daw and played it through my external speakers - Full and clear sound.
I then heard it through my audiobox + headphones and the sound was incomplete and distorted.
This leads me to rule out the microphone being broken.
Everything seems to be plugged in properly.
Phantom power was on.
I fiddled with the buffer and I/O to no avail.
I updated my OS & Audiobox sound card via Presonus' website.
Please help!
