I have a question...
I record rap and hip-hop music. About a year ago my recordings were clear, the vocals sounded professional and very natural. I was using the Shure KSM32 which is a great mic. All I had to do was roll-off the bass and boost the vocal track at about 6 khz, and I had lush clear vocals.
But suddenly, my vocals started sounding "honky" and had a "telephone-like" quality to them. I was using the same exact procedure and the same settings that I always used. Also, because I was recording the same people, I figured that there was something wrong with the microphone. So, I went out and bought the Audio Technica 4050 after hearing audio clips of the mic in action and after hearing good reviews.
Well, that didn't work.... my recordings still sound "honky" and "telephone-like"
unless the singer sings or speaks very softly--almost whispering.
I use the PreSonus TubePre preamplifier to record... and I'm guessing that my preamp might be the problem.... perhaps it has worn out, because my recordings used to sound good. I tried using my Mbox preamp but my vocals still sound too thin and telephone-like.
Somebody help me!!!
I need my natural sounding vocals back!!!
