NEW TRACK: The evil Upper Mid-range BITE?

kevinwayne

Okay, I've switched out the tracks I had posted for something else:

Mix 1:

Mix 2:

There several places in the Vox track, 1st big one being in the first verse "PICK up your guitar." The "i" in "pick" sounds really harsh to me. 0:28 mark.

Seems like a lot of my recorded performances suffer from "spikes' for want of a better term. Little explosions that happen in the upper-mids that assault the ear drums, and cutting them on a EQ only does so much~! Perhaps you can hear what I'm hearing?

What does it take to correct this problem? Change of technique? Compression? Different mic?

These were done using a Shure SM7b, in case you were wondering...

Can you give us a time stamp for the spots you are talking about?
