I still think you are confusing frequency and amplitude.
You say there is an unpleasant harshness to your vocals when you hit high notes ? Is this 'high' in voume or high in pitch ? Or both ?
Is your vocal track clipping (going over digital zero and distorting) when you hit these notes ...
Ok...well, a limiter won't reduce high end. What feature of Cool Edit are you using the preset in ? The graphic eq ?
If you reduce the gain in a frequency range of a track, it will affect the overall amplitude of your mix.
Why are you only unhappy with the tonal balance of your mix when it...
I've heard it said by a couple of people whom I trust, that the original vlz was built better, lasted longer and had slightly better sounding preamps.
Subjective, I know. But both these people are into a/b testing and move in different circles.
But direct out on every channel ? Didn't know...
Subscibed to Resolution some time back after leafing through a mates copy. Pisses all over all the other UK magazines from a high height IMO. Plus their site was down when I was trying to subscribe, so I emailed them. They got back to me by phone a day or so later, apologized for the...
I think the reason you haven't got any responses yet is because it is slightly unclear in your post if you are talking about dynamic amplitude or freq content. If it is the former, than you need to do some reading up on compression. Try here...

I really like RenComp and VintageWarmer, gonna get a UAD card for the comp and eq though.

The Carillion PC's are overpriced.
But they're rock solid, and present a good option for people concerned about noise (is the pc in the same room you track in ?), and for people who don't have the knowledge or inclination to 'roll their own'...
If you have the PC in a different room than your...
Played both, ended up getting one of the new Twin's. Mostly because it sounded better and had the 25% power option which I use alot. They are both LOUD at full power and I don't always need that. The Twin IS louder, but the gain channel on both doesn't sound as good unless you drive it a bit, at...
Very good suggestions...another couple of things to try.
Put an cheap omni (behringer make one for 40 dollars) where your ear is when you are listening to it. Sound like you remember ?
Get a pair of these http://www.remoteaudio.com/hn7506.htm and use them to position your mic while some...
Thanks folks. Wow that's an old thread. I don't like Sennheiser cans apart from a pretty high end pair I heard years ago which a DJ friend of mine owned. 650s or 850 or something like that, felt like velvet on your ears and sounded amazing.
Anyway, I ended up getting a pair of these...
I have a 31-band eq by them which is a damn fine unit, in fairness. Very musical and doesn't cause much detail loss compared to other units of similar price.
Haven't used their desks.

Having said that, the RNC is a very good unit, as is the DBX mentioned above. I would rather the RNC on vocals or a full mix though. The DBX sounds better to me on bass and guitars, I usually...
