But you said something about hiting 0 on the red bar and i'm only hitting -6 and my input is all the way up what should i do You should never hit 0 on the red bar - as soon as you do you will get distortion. -6dB should be fine. You can increase it to 0dB (I usually go a little lower, say -0.3dB) b...

At the bottom (the audio i have highlighted), the peak amplitudes seem to be consistently shifted down... It is not at all uncommon for audio to not be symmetrical - it frequently happens when using high pass filters (which will part of the circuitry in your pre-amp). The sound recorded is quite a ...
