Shawn i agree with you 100% on propper tracking rather than fix it in the mix. 
But the thing is not everyone has professional studios, time, money and lots of 
different mics to choose from. If i had my way i would want to record all my 
stuff analog using 16 track studer machines and noiman u87, u67 and u47 mics 
but shit happens and i can't. One must work with what you have and as i said 
earlyer if the situation calls for it compression while tracking can realy help 
if done propperly.

    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
