Recording Vocals in Pro Tools 9 question

Hey guys, quick question about recording in Pro Tools 9. I have a saffire pro 24 interface and when recording with an AKG 220 mic, the levels are fine but when looking at the waveform, it is extremely large. so yea. That is a picture of wat I'm speaking of. How do i make that look normal. it looks like its peaking but its not even that loud and i only had the gain on my saffire to 4.

Looking for audio interface / mic preamp recommendations (spoken vocals, Shure SM7B)

Hi all! I'm putting together a home studio and am looking for some recommendations before I buy.

As for my situation, I'm recording spoken vocals for audio-only video games -- essentially radio dramas with some interactive elements. For now I only need to record 1 actor at a time, but I want my studio to support more than that in case I need multiple simultaneous actors later on.

Recording Vocals

I've been getting into composing my own songs and although I'm not a practised or very good vocalist, I get by. I have been recording a mate doing vocals and apart from the fact he's a far better singer than I could ever hope to be, I find his recorded vocals sound far better than mine. It's as though I make a better job recording him than I make recording myself.
