Hi everybody,
I'm totally new to home recording and just started a transatlantic recording project with my former band mate. I tried recording my vocals for a track with my Audio Technica USB cardioid mic and GarageBand 11 but the problem was that even when I turned the Recording Level all the way down to 1% the recording was still peaking (although the volume of it was quiet). I started wondering, are cardioid mics too sensitive for that kind of singing or is there something I can do to make the levels good and sound clear without any peaking?
I had a pop screen and my distance from the mic was about 6-7 inches.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
