There’s nothing like acoustic recordings, just a guitar and a voice.

So often a song gets lost in production but when you listen to the stripped down version, the whole essence, fragility, vulnerability of a song become tangible.

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!
