Hey guys, I'm recording a new track and on a few really long and loud notes I'm clipping somewhere on the way into the DAW. It's not clipping in Logic...I've tried reducing the channel volume going into the mixer from the mic (a Karma k-58) but it doesn't seem to be helping because the volume of the vox just gets lower but the note still over-modulates. I'm not currently using a pop filter but I don't think thats causing it.

Any tips?

How about a very old fashioned solution, mic control. Back in the day when dinosaurs like Sinatra ruled the planet they actually moved away from the mic in louder passages, but then they probably did not have digital quackery to do what they could do themselves. Seriously, all great vocalists, even today, understand and use mic control techniques.
