We don't recommend using the auto gain in loud, dynamic situations. This was probably
not the source of the distortion, however.

Right. It could also be caused by "brick walling" the mic input, where the signal
coming into the mic input is so high that it is completely distorted. No adjustment of
the recording level (automatically or manually) will fix this problem.

If you combine it with a battery module and use the line input, yes.

I think I'll let others in the MD community express their opinions on this to keep it
unbiased....:-)
