How much compression would you do for something like this? I've never recorded with compression on a track while recording before... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nickus de Vos" <bigboy529@xxxxxxxxx>

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... ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Marston

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,
