what you can try in a case of recording someone with a big dynamic range like 
you had with this client is to record with slight compression. This can be 
nerve recking at first because you'll be scared of messing up the signal but if 
you do it a few times it will start working great. I would suggest a few 
practice runs with less important recordings or get a friend to sing for you 
wile trying out different compression settings, ask if you need any help on 
this subject.
She also has a softer voice as well so maybe that has something to do with it 
until she gets a little in her higher range...

  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
