i'd strongly suggest running a compressor through your mic setup, some girls can spike some insane highs when singing. it will help level out the lows and highs to the same volume, not "lows are barely heard and highs are ear piercing"

Well it seems only those with a ghetto booty can sing hooks for hip hop.

That's the software version of the compressor SSL had on their reverse studio talkback on their 4000E consoles... first noticed and used as an amazing ambient drum mic compressor by some guy recording phil collins...and surprinsigly enough ive heard even the software version is good.
