Hi thanks for the tips everyone. I found this and a friend uses it and doesnt get distortion, mine was a £9 cheapy from ebay.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-ECM-719-Multi...e/dp/B00009OTF6 would it stop my problems?

Hi I need some help with my recording please, I've just started out with a Sony Hi-MD MZ-NH700 and ECM-DS70P Condenser Stereo Microphone. My 2 recordings have been unlistenable... 1. I had it set for Mic Sensitivity High and it came out too loud and distorted and was rubbish, any guitar/drums made it distorted. So I set it to Mic Sensitivity Low for the next show. 2. It still came out bass heavy and distorted, you cant hear the guitar, its just a mess. Please can someone tell me what im doing wrong? thank you Attached are 2 mp3 samples of each recording 001_2007_09_15_22_58_11.mp3 001_2007_10_13_23_16_39.mp3
