Digital audio recording coming out messed up in a weird way. It's had me stumped for weeks!

Hey all,

I'm having an issue I cannot seem to get around. When I record things to my DAW from analog sources through an interface it sounds fine at first, but then peters out in a weird way. I use a Scarlett 2i2 and Reaper, but have been getting the same outcome with other interfaces and DAWs.

Here's some facts:

- It sounds fine coming out the Scarlett's monitor as I'm recording.

- I've tried recording left and right individually with no luck, so I don't think it's a phase issue.

- As I've said, I've tried recording the same audio with a different interface (Behringer Xenyx 1204 built in interface) and different DAW (Audacity).

-I've tried all different cables throughout the signal chain, including different USBs between Scarlett and computer.

Here is an audio example. It should be a consistent wall of sound.

Thanks in advance! This issue has been driving me crazy for weeks and has everyone I've asked about it stumped.
