So your about to record.You tell the drummer to do a mic check,"hit them like your going to hit them when you record".
You hit record and the drummer is pounding the piss out of them and the signal is clipping.What do you do in this situation?
Are there measures taken to make sure you can get a good signal without clipping,when you hit the Record button,and without having to stop and start over?
