Good point. Its quite nerve recking if you do it at first because of being
scared of messing up the tracks. In the past when i was stil using cubase i use
to record one mic on to 2 tracks at once, the 1 track was with and the other
without the compressor plug in. I did this in case of messing up the compressed
tracks, but its been a wile since i've used this method don't even know if it's
possible in sonar.

I hear ya man. I would love to have a big closet of mics.
I have to keep it real though.
Most people can run a pretty good project studio on a small number of
microphones though. Back when I was in commercial business I would hate to
know how much money I had in mics. Now, that I just do my own stuff and
small projects for others, and I don't have to worry about tracking drums, I
have 6 mics which I lean on.
I'm still against tracking with compression though. Do I see the reason?
Sure I do! All I'm saying, is why not use a plugin for that. Put together
presets that work for you if need be, but at least you still have control.
So many people have made some horrible recording mistakes by entering
destructive affects into the signal chain.
Nothing is worse than having to tell someone who's paying you, and someone
who worked hard for hours on end, that there tracks aren't useable because
of a choice you made. I have been lucky enough to never have had to deal
with that, but I have seen it go down and it aint pretty.

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.

Subject: [ddots-l] mackie onyx 1220i question
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
