I have thus far successfully recorded the instrument parts for three of my songs. But i'm having major issues recording vocals.
I have a Behringer C1-U USB
Studio Condenser Mic
I have CUBASE LE5 Editing software.
And after testing the mic out when I first got it and thinking the audio quality was a tad lacklustre I built a small sound booth for recording. Like the one in this picture:

But even now the vocals come in either incredibly tinny and sharp without the booth, or muffled with it.
I've used various Inserts and VST plugins. As well as messing around with the 4 track Equalizer on the recorded track, so as to cut out the unwanted high and low end noise. Which does help a little, but not enough, I can't seem to find a middle ground between muffled or tinny.
I've also messed around with the sensitivity of the Mic in the Win 8
control pannel, but still it kind of sucks.
I can't even get the basic crispness average youtube vloggers get.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what else I can do i.e. get a better mic or something? (bearing in mind I have a very limited budget.)
