Hi guys,
I wondered if anyone has any tips on setting the gain appropriately for vocals? I find that when I belt out louder notes or choruses, I get a lot of clipping but when I turn the gain down (even slightly), the vocal is too quiet to work with. I've experimented with compressing, different mics, mic technique, preamp settings etc but I just can't seem to find the sweet spot.
My setup is a condenser mic into a Voicetone T1 into an Art Studio preamp into a Tascam DP008EX. To make matters more confusing, there are separate gain settings on the Voicetone, preamp and portastudio, and the preamp will often indicate no clipping but the meter on the portastudio itself will be peaking out so I don't know which should take precedence.
Please help!
