... ok running the tape fast I have heard of that but going right into the red - you have no idea how stressful it is for me to watch that damn light to try to make sure it does not go into the red - I have kinda a strong voice but I like to be up on the mic because u get the vocal tones and variances that just do not come through when u back off the mic but the red the red the red.. recording is a NIGHTMARE - I've had people there just to watch the damn light but then I'm stressing out watching the people watching the light.
</font> Recording should not be a nightmare!!! It should be fun, and in truth when you strip away lots of the unimportant stuff recording is actually pretty simple. When recording to digital you need to worry about going into the red. In digital red always = bad. With analog, pro formats or cassettes going into the red is not a problems and many times it can actually improve the subjective quality of the sound. When I was recording a lot with cassette 4 track I was always slamming the meters. Another thing that could really help you would be a compressor to help keep the dynamic range of your vocals in check. (recording into the red will do a bit of the naturally) ------------------ Ronan Chris Murphy Home Recording Boot Camp www.homerecordingbootcamp.com
