    I think this is usual when using a dynamic mic.  However, with regards to 
the jump from negative 14 to negative 3, that may be normal depending on the 
kind of song you are recording.  You may use a compresser afterwards to even 
out the dynamics on the track.

        Hello all,
    Yesterday I was recording a client with my new mackie onyx1220I and I was 
finding that I was having to run the tain knob really hot in order to get good 
meter readings.  It was like one minute she would be at -14 or -21 and then she 
would jump to a louder portion of a song and it would jump sometimes to like -3 
or -2.  Am I doing something wrong?  I mean is it normal to have to run the 
gain knob all the way almost to it's max?  COuld use some help please...  
Thanks,
    Brian
