Hey HomeRecording peeps, I was wondering if y'all could help me solve my problem. I recently purchased and am running a set-up that contains a Rode NT1-A and a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen. I use Audacity for vocals and I've noticed that something appears to be off in my recordings. Here is a picture of what a vocal recording looks like in Audacity:
As you can see, there appears to be this strange 'peaking' (I'm not even sure if I'm using that word right) going on and my audio seems to be 'restricted' in its range. This takes place regardless of how I adjust my gain on my pre-amp. Here is a picture of my Audacity settings in case that helps:
I'm quite the newbie when it comes to recording (this is my first home studio) so I would really appreciate some help on this issue.
