I just bought an rode ntk and I'm wondering what's the best postion to record vocals. It seems like if I sing directly in to the capsule it has a harsh sound. Should I record my voice off axis to get better sound with this particular mic. Also how can I tame down the brightness. I am running it through a mackie mixer wit xdr preamps. I'm thinking maybe I need a dirtier preamp to make the sound thicker. What do u guys think
