Going back to some older recordings I've noticed almost every show has 1 or 2 digital spikes in the wave. Facts:
-set up is mics > xlr input
-spikes are always identical length (about 1/100th second)
-L & R channel peaks of the spike seem to be the same (-0.2 & -1.3) even in different recordings, regardless of my recording levels
-I always reformat the SD card in the deck once it is filled up (16GB), about every 6-8 recordings
I'm inclined to believe it is not a short in the mic/connection or analog realm but rather an issue with the card or something in the deck. Any ideas as to what is up?
Here is a sample:
