Microphone is way too sensitive

Recently bought a Tascam TM78 and a Tascam US-100 interface to record acoustic guitar and vocal tracks in the latest version of Audacity (Windows 7). However, every time I start to sing loud at ALL my levels peak; this is especially prevalent on the vocal tracks. I've eliminated what I think are all...

Re: Modulation/distortion on my mic

Modulation/distortion on my mic

I recently purchased a Tascam TM-78 condenser mic along with a Tascam US-100 interface. I've been recording acoustic guitar and vocals with some success, however every now and then (and with increasing frequency) my takes are super modulated and distorted, seemingly for no reason. My levels aren't p...
