Hello everyone.
Im recording vocals with akg c214, roll-off filter at off and db at -0.
Before buying AKG I had Golden Age FC3 MkII.
On both microphones I noticed that at around 130-142 hz , 250-288 hz, there are those frequencies that make the vocal a bit muddy.This is the first question, if this thing happens to you too.
Second question : Whats the best way to remove those but without making the vocal too harsh ? I understand that I need those frequencies cause its making the vocal more natural, but I hear them boomin and I feel like thats against my will the vocal to be "clear".I tried EQing those frequencies and it sounds good but I feel that I destroy the natural sound of the vox but without making it too harsh.In the other hand, I tried using multiband comp but I feel like its not the best way to solve that "problem".
Notes : The microphone is not in a vocal booth and my room is untreated.I've also used SE Electronics RF-X but the "problem" persists.
My microphone is going through presonus tube-pre v2 and then to my soundcard which is focusrite saffire pro 26.
Thank you for your time.
