I'm going to be recording my band again in a few weeks, and I'm just wondering what kind of micing techniques could be used to get a good clean scream mixed with singing, without clipping for the scream parts.. that was the main problem I had last time.
My vocalist can be very loud when he gets going.. I'm just wondering, back him way off from the mic? How will this effect the recording of the normal singing parts? Is it possible for vocals to be loud enough to clip right at the mic? Or is it usually clipping the signal sent to the preamp?
I've uploaded an mp3 of the kind of sound I'm looking for.. hope it's not too big for you guys to download, I could downsample the mp3.. let me know..
We've got access to SM57s/58s, and a C1000 condenser, into a Mackie v1604 board, if that makes a difference.. any ideas at all.. I'll give them all a try. Oh I'll probably be renting a RNC compressor, I'm guessing that could probably be useful for this..
