- Please post a better example. It’s quite difficult to identify the nature of unwanted distortion when it’smaked by HORRIBLY distorted guitar sound.
- What do you mean by “playing audio through the internet”?
But anyway … since you corrected the feedback loop by turning off monitoring in Cubase, it’s obvious you still have something strange going on with your audio interface, since the feedback loop wouldn’t have existed if it didn’t feed output back to input. Check your audio interface settings.
If “playing audio through the internet” means playing Windows audio through your Focusrite, my advice is: DON’T DO THIS. Play Windows audio through your motherboard audio interface and dedicate your Focusrite for DAW work (ASIO).
