I was just reading about recording vocals and suddenly I had this idea that I havent even tried yet but that might work if you're like me and dont use/have a hardware compressor when recording vocals or any other very dynamica source.
So..they say that when you reach 0db at your audio interface you're clipping, that means that if you are recording vox and then get too excited or near the microphone at some point those parts will be digitally crapped.
What if I set my mic gain to a good level but also use a send to another channel with less level? This way I would have a track with the full power (db-wise) performance going to my audio card and I would have another track that would be like 6 or 10 db lower going into another track input on my audio card. This way I could replace clipped parts on the hot take with the lower input take.
What do you guys think about this?
Iam I dumb?
