Noel has two helpful tips that I would like to see answered. Is the Normalize box unchecked? Are you using 16 bit and 44.1 sampling rate?

The reason I ask is that you said you get 'clipping and distortion'. The clipping should be obvious not only from the sound but by opening the file in an audio editor and observing where it goes to zero. Distortion, however, could be what you are hearing from clipping, or it could be from some other reason, and we don't know what's happening in your case. If you have a soundcard that forced a 48 K sampling rate, for example, you might hear a sound you could call distortion.

So, how do you answer Noel's questions?
