Whenever I record with my firebox (on my imac G5) everything starts out sounding as it should, but gradually the recorded sound deteriorates and distorts so that a couple of minutes into a recording, the sounds I'm making become so heavily distorted that whatever I sing or play it just sounds like screeching fuzz. I'm not very technical, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

In Logic only if software monitoring is on. But - good hint in the right moment. I did not have exactly that problem but a strange delay in the headphones. My talkback mic (in the same room) was accidently routet to the monitoring reverb. Thanks ;-) ___ Peter Ostry

Thanks a lot, I think I've got it sorted. I hope.
