depends i'll always start with a 2 to 1 ratio and work my way up. E.g. your
signal of -14 to -3, i would start my compressors threshold at -10 and the
ratio at 2 to 1, then you'll have a signal of -14 to -7 and you can gain it up
to get a propper level like -10 to -2, you don't want to compress too much you
can always compress more later in mixing. As i said the important part is
practice.
How much compression would you do for something like this? D I've never
recorded with compression on a track while recording befo.----- Original

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
