I've recently purchased the Zoom F2 recorder.
I've edited on the timeline and made sure that the audio levels are under -6 most of the time. If there are sound effects, they reach up to -2.
When exporting and listening to it on my phone (preparing for a YouTube upload), the sound from the microphone is constantly clipping.
My export settings are:
Video Codec: H.264
Audio Format: AAC
.mov file
Is there something I can do to fix this?
Thank you!
Not to say your problem does not exist, but I can't replicate your issue on my system.
If you import the file you exported back into FCP and play it, do you hear the distortion then?
If you play the exported file with QuickTime Player, do you hear the distortion then?

Thanks for the response!
When I listen to it with QuickTime, there is no distortion. Similarly, I listened to it on my iPhone WITH studio headphones and there is also no distortion. The distortion is only when watching it from the speakers on the iphones (I tested with 2 different phones), or on the laptop directly on YouTube.
So I guess there is not much I can do. It's a minor distortion though, probably only editors and other content creators would notice.
I'm wondering if the close proximity of the stereo speakers on the iPhone are not causing some phase interference which would not be apparent on headphones or more widely separated speakers.
