Is there a particular technique that the artist must use when recording rap vocals? I've noticed when the artist that I record raps softly, he sounds more clear and it is easier to mix....
But when he gets loud, his vocals start to sound a bit "honky" and have a telephone like quality to them.... and it's almost impossible for me to get a good mix because of the sharp peaks in his voice...
The same holds true to the R&B artist that I record- when she sings softly I can get a clearer mix
I use the AT4050 and sometimes the Shure KSM32... both mics are new
I usually turn down his headphone mix to encourage him (and her) to sing softly, which then results in a mix that is easier to handle (I don't know if I'd ever be able to record and mix Lil Jon!!!)
Does anyone else have this same problem?
