Well, just got done doing a little tracking with my fiance. We are remaking an old hymn for a demo we are doing. She is an absolute powerhouse! I have never had a more frustrating time trying to get good levels on someone. She peaks all the time, and then I have to turn the pre's down so much that her voice just doesn't cut through the mix in the softer parts, and she's really not an untrained singer, i think it's got something to do with actual way she projects. I don't know...absolutely frustrating.
Here's what I'm trying right now.
Borrowed from my future father-in-law
AKG Solid Tube
SE 2200
CAD Equitek 200
Used of Mine
AT 3035
GT 33
SM-57
Of all of these the GT 33 rocked. I could not get a decent signal out of the AKG and when that thing clips it sounds horrid. Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant, any advice would be greatly appreciated,
btw, also tried front end compression,
Thanks for helping a semi-newbie,
Rafe
