i don't do it, if yo zoom in on a drum track, you'll see sharp transients, but on a vocal it's all roundness, well unless you got a rapper that screams! lol but yeah, if you want to prevent clipping while tracking, ok, but i wouldn't limit on mixdown, just compress.

I don't limit anything, I compress and maximize a lot...

I do think that limiting vocals is quite common.

It is really just to accomadate a vocalist who might not have the best control ove there volume. Compresion/limiting is a more common use for the limiter when recording vocals.

But if the vocalist has good control then the limiter really isnt needed.
