Hey guys. I've been mixing my own stuff with varied success for a while now, but I feel like the last three or so songs I've done have all had this problem where the vocals are just crazy sharp and harsh sounding and I'm not sure why. Part of me thinks it might be something I'm doing (or not doing) in the master, because I'm pushing it pretty hard to be loud and full. But I'm also resistant to cutting the high frequencies of the vocal in the mix because I don't want to lose clarity. I'll put up both the mix and my "master" (really I just throw mix compression and TLS Maximizer at like +10db on it). If any of you guys have any ideas I'd love to hear them.
