Please don't rip me apart, I just joined this forum, but am far from a newbie to the camera. I don't know a whole lot about audio recording, is all. My situation:
I shoot live music footage for YouTube, music videos, and general documentation. Recently, I have been shooting many doom/ death metal bands, and the heavy bass distorts on the recording. I use the built-in mic on the camera, not an external mic. I have set the "mic ATT" option to "on", which supposedly addresses the issue, to little avail. While shooting, i ride the audio levels to maintain even input with no peaking. I can't get rid of this problem, and am not sure I can fix it in FCP. Below is a link to my YouTube channel as demonstration. The latest videos are a good example of the problem, the live footage of Anhedonist and Ealdath.

Any advice would be helpful. I don't need or expect "perfect" sound on this type of video work, but would like to not have this bass distortion in general. I'd also prefer to continue using the on-board mic, if possible.
