Sound engineers, I have a question:
I'm recording the vocals for the next song but I have a problem. The verses are fine but the chorus is much higher, so if I record at the same gain, it's way too distorted.
Is it advisable to lower the gain just for the chorus? I always assumed the gain should be the same throughout the song.
Or should I move farther away from the mic in the chorus?
The thing is, even if I lower the gain a LOT, there's still some distortion in the chorus and I feel like I have to hold back.
What would your advice be? Thx!
