Hi...I'm in need of some ideas for my vocals. When we go to record the vocals, they sound very mono tone and not very real. I'm using a Shure 58 for the mic and just running it direct into the mixer. I want kind of an old blues-rock distortion on the vocals on a few tracks and other just normal singing. But when I record them its just so mono sounding and no real ambience in the vox. I don't think its the singer because he's always wailing with soul.
The guitar is sort of that way too, I'm miking with an AKG C1000...the amp gives a fuller sound all around then of that on the recording. Could that be an EQ issue? I just want a clear signal from the mic coming from the amp since the amp has the desired sound. Its still very monotone sounding.
Any hints or advice would be great, thanks.
