If that is the case, the problem is with the mixer or the amplifier
system following it, not with your signal. If the signal was undistorted
at the lower level, and boosting it in the mixer causes distortion, then
either the mixer or the amps are generating that distortion.

Or it could be that you were sending some signal that the mixer
or amps couldn't handle, e.g. very high level subsonic signals.
But these should have shown up on the mixer's meters, so that was
probably not the problem.
