I'm a newbie and ask here if somebody can help. I have recorded the attached clip from a pianola (line-out jack) to a pc. But I don't know why I have this distortion. I think that this is not a level problem. Is it possible to remove or repair? How? And for the future: how I can avoid this?
Thank you!

IMO the attached file doesn't sound like clipped.

Second time listening I captured with Audition. The reason you hear no clipping is because there isn't any at all. I don't know if his record level is best but it certainly isn't overloading.

So, at this point I think that it must be a problem of my hw (pc audio, ampli, spekers). I must research more...

If your PC works like mine, you should be able to record a signal that on playback is indistinguishable from the original. This assumes you have high enough levels to be away from the noise floor but not drive into clipping. I use Audition but I hear many good things about Audacity. BTW none of my gear needs to 'warm up' before it's ready to behave properly. The PC is ready as son as it boots.
