This morning I caught a recording of two cats "caterwauling", (sorry)
I used my Sennheiser ME66 shotgun mic and a Sony MZR70 minidisk recorder. =
I
recorded in Monaural mode. The recording sounded great. I then plugged th=
e
output of the recorder into the Line-in on my home computer and transferred
the recording via Goldwave into a mono 44,100 8 bit file. (I usually use
11000, but I went to the higher resolution to see if it would help. I
noticed no gain in sound quality)
=20
When I listen to it back, I can hear a very high frequency hiss, only when
the cats are meowing. Is that what artifacts are?
I then listened to the recording an octave lower, and I could clearly hear
the distortion that caused the hiss.
My computer sound card is a run of the mill Gateway computer sound card. =
Am I guessing correctly that the distortion is probably coming from the
sound card?
Here's the meowing audio.

Any thoughts?
