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!

I have a few great ways of monitoring my work. Custom speakers, HD600 phones with control room emulation-ware and 'forensic' Flare Audio Pro ear buds.

However, possibly the most useful at the very end of a project, are some cheap as chips generic Bluetooth ear buds. They've replaced the plethora of 'real world' tests (car, boombox, etc, you know!) - 'a fabulously uninspiring sound!' 😁 - and yes, my choice of 'medical green' was deliberate 😂

@debonairetoast any hard flat/reflective surfaces are a right pita for live sound.... used to do a club on the circuit in Australia which had mirrored walls right across the back of the stage *and* both sides! Talk about trying to polish a turd... 🙄😂

@riskybusiness Is there any or someone in that knows why this feels so ready, whereas visual and stuff doesn't? Is the audio uncanny valley smaller? Do people care less about details in sound? Are we more used to shitty audio? Is "good enough" easier to achieve in visual vs stuff?

Ugh. No doubt about it: I need to upgrade monitors this year. I have two options, both of which I'll likely take...

1. Buy some used EVs from one of my contemporaries. Should be cost-effective.

2. Beef up the existing monitors with new drivers and amps. Surprisingly also cost-effective, but also a little more complicated.

If I can get this accomplished before March, I should be in excellent shape for the summer...

Basically, I want to help form a different future for music recording than the majors have planned.

Which reminds me, I only found out about the Spotify today,
