take off the low cut. you don't want that. also how is your gain settings? do you have phantom power on?

I do use a compressor the way you've recommended. It helps with the overall sound quality but as far as the vocals being too bass(y) it just doesn't stop that. Any other ideas?

If you are getting alot of extra bass on the vocal ..move the vocalist away from the mic ..say about six to 12 inches depending on the power of the vocalist. Mics have a proximity (spelling) effect that really kicks up the bass if the singer is right on the mic...and as stated above use your rolloff ... I have rolled off low end on some vocalists up to 200hz (mostly live recordings) with out a serious hit to quality. Put a DIGI 1 band eq on the playback channel and select the highpass setting and adjust to taste. bb

How close are you to the mic? Maybe try backing off the mic a bit. Also switching the mic from cardioid to omni will reduce the proximity bass build up. Hope this helps a bit.

- and i forgot - it's importand adjusting your other tracks in the right relationship to your vocal tracks. this is a common beginner fault. do NOT boost everything up with compressors and afterwards pull down the faders to a minimum! - heve fun -

wow, that's all a lot of really good information. I do appreciate all of your help. I can't wait to get started.
