I have a question that I should know. . . but. . .

There is a gal at work that has agreed to do some Christian vocals for me. She has a very dynamic voice, and I plan to record her in Real band. To prevent clipping, when she "nails it" , are the effects within Real Band, real time, or are they added after the recording. Should I use compression or limiters as I am recording, or can I turn on say, PG dynamics and PG limiter within Real band to record with. I want to be all ready when she comes over, so I don't waste time .

Thanks,

Gene
