Audio recording is weird and distorted

PostMon Jun 23, 2025 9:03 pm

Hello everyone, this is the problem:

If I record the microphone through DaVinci Resolve (and only DaVinci Resolve) I get a weird sound. Any other software works fine.

What do you think it is?

I'm recording through my scarlett 4i4 and a 48v microphone

Is this a Windows system? Resolve 20? ASIO or WDM?

Is WDM clean or similar issues as ASIO?

The pitch drop could indicate a sample rate mismatch somewhere in your setup.
