OK, first of all, download this mp3 I made in PT. I had to use Audio Hijack
Pro to get it mixed to an mp3 till I find out what the heck my bouncing
issue is, but anyway, again, here, get this first of all:

OK, yeah, yeah, don't chastise my vocals, I know they're r'real! bad.
Probably God aweful! I didn't say I was totally warmed up. Anyway, notice
the music track is very natural sounding. All I did's run some reverb on my
two vocal tracks. the one doing the lead vocal, and the one doing the high
shoo wop part, then also added auto-tune, and a little more reverb on the
karaoke track, as frankly, in my book, it was way too dry originally. Maybe
I over-did it, but anyway, the issue is if I turn the high up on my multi
mix interface, I start clipping. If i turn the hi up and then either my
fader or my trim down on the board, I'm too soft. If I back the hi off on
the board as I did, as you can hear my vocals sound muffled. They dont/'
have that clean brightness that I need. Yes, this is a studio grade
condenser phantom-powered mike. So I'm not running cheap stuff here. I
mean it isn't toppa the line, by any means, but it's not low end either at
all.
I have the entire folder will all the session files. Would it help more if
I send space you all that so you can actually see the project, and all my
levels etc?
I just wonder how we can get the vocal a bit more bright and less muffled
seeing the above issues. I'm kind a darned if I do, darned if I don't,
catch 22.
Don't just fix it for me, I mean, you can, if you have the time and want to,
but I need to learn how to do this, so don't tell me my vocals are off, I
know that. More, what should I do to make this mix better? Be nice, be
nice! LOL! I'm a beh bee, I'm still learning. LOL!
Chris.
