How to record loud vocals without distortion

1. Gain. Gain is used to adjust the strength of an audio signal and it usually found on most audio interfaces, mixer boards and digital audio workstations.
2. Use a pop filter.
3. Don’t record directly into the Microphone.
4. Compression.
5. The Vocalist.
6. Conclusion (The Process)

The most common reason for distortion is an input overload like the microphone overload mentioned above. Mic’ing an instrument, or even a vocal, is more than sticking a microphone right up to the sound source. A distorted sound can be resolved by placing a greater distance between the sound source and the microphone.

Clipping is a form of waveform distortion that occurs when an amplifier is overdriven and attempts to deliver an output voltage or current beyond its maximum capability. Driving an amplifier into clipping may cause it to output power in excess of its power rating.
