Looking for advice on a better way to control levels (especially of vocals) while tracking. Currently my vocal chain is: Rode NT-2A-->Peavey VMP-2 Tube ...

Anthony, I do have metering and "over" indicators. So I know if I've clipped the E-MU or the DAW. I am the singer:-). I did do some moving back on the loud ...

Ken, It seems unlikely that the RNC is the problem, unless it's broken. Does it have the same problem on both left and right channels? How much gain reduction...
no but wolf does have a point. With 16-bit, people used compression to get a higher level before clipping in order to get the best resolution for the signal....
Robert, Are you talking about Judy?;). There is no distortion when I leave the RNC out of the chain. So I'm pretty sure that is the source of the problem. Ken...
does it make the same distortion noise on any compressor setting? Try making the attack and release times long and see if that changes anything (shorter times...
Wolf, Distortion is occurring BEFORE digital conversion. So I wouldn't think bit rate would matter in this case. But I'll try that. I admit that I still ...
... I agree that Nyquist theory holds here, and that 24 bit adds a lot of granularity to signal energy resolution. However, I don't see how recording at 96...
... Well I probably should have said that clearer. With 24dB, you can record with lots of headroom and have still more resolution than you need. There's no ...
... OK. I agree with that. It's much easier to avoid overloading when you're recording at 96 kHz, so most of the time you won't really need hardware...
I see your point, but with respect to Ken's problem -- 24-bit recording does not shield you from converter overload, if your signal is too hot. True, you can...
< yeah, there shouldn't be any technique to recording, you should just be able to rely on gear to do everything for you :) ... Now, now. You know that isn't...

Somebody stated they doubted a vocalist could distort a mic diaphram. There's a recording out there somewhere of my old female lead vocalist singing "When A...

After everything you all have said, I think I need to do some more experimentation. Thanks for all the input. Ken _____ From: mixmasters@yahoogroups.com...

Oh please. I didn't say I expect to feed overloaded signal into my vocal chain and expect the gear to FIX it. My point was that the compressor is there for a...
I just did a bunch of experiments. It turns out I don't think what I was hearing was distortion at all! I think it was me just not liking my own voice;)....
