You get rid of it by preventing it in the first place. Since we have no way of knowing where it's coming from, we can only make guesses.

ASSUMING you are using quality microphones with good cables, we have to assume your recording input levels are too high.

It would have been helpful if you descibed the microphones you are using, the type of cables and the rest of your signal chain.

As Procyon says 'we can only make guesses' - however from what you have said

. . . . I have static from vocals being to loud . . .

I would guess you are talking about overload distortion rather than static - if this is the case there is no way to get rid of it satisfactorily other then to re-record the audio.

Assuming you using Music Maker to record the audio then set your recording leveel so that the recording level meters just peak to the orange on the loudest parts and never into the red.
