I am trying to figure out why I am getting distortion during playback of recorded tracks. I run Logic Pro X 10.5. with a Tapco Link.USB interface through 2 Yamaha HSM50 monitors.
I have read that if you change the sample rate in Logic this may solve the problem.
Changing Sample Rate solves distortion problems? Where did you read that? Makes no sense at all.
Changing the Sample Rate of on an existing Project (in any DAW) is a NONO because this just means that the audio files are playing back (clocked) faster or slower. The result, as you already experienced, is a pitch and tempo change (unless you have Sample Rate Conversion applied to the files).
Your description doesn't make sense. First you say you get distortion on a "recorded track" (I assume you recorded a new Track in Logic), but then you say the "song you are listening to". Does that mean you imported a song, an existing audio file?
Nevertheless, whatever Sample Rate the audio files has (either recorded or imported) that should be the Sample Rate you should have the Logic Project set to.
Distortion due to Sample Rate mismatch makes no sense (unless a bad Sample Rate Conversion process).
Maybe explain your setup a little bit more to figure out where the distortion is coming from (I assume you checked the meters)
Hope that helps,
