Hey CPM,
Thanks for the replies. I just checked out a youtube vid re dynamic range. Brill.
And yep, you gotta love Kate Bush. Awesome.
- I'll add 'study good mic technique' to my to-do list.
And thanks Neil - more great advice.
Now that I understand a little more about what I'm doing, and where i should be with the levels etc, things will be much easier when next recording.
(On a side note - I found some fab vocal exercises on youtube this week, which have given me extra volume/power too. It's amazing what 12 mins of exercises has done for adding a few new skills, whilst emptying the dishwasher. Its so much more fun now, haha.)
Cheers again
c
