I mostly record underground hip hop artists. I find that using the low cut on my MXL 4000 condenser mic can make the more high pitched nasal emcees a little too earsplitting or sharp and I have to compensate later during post. This technique, however is really effective on someone with a more boomy, deep voice. It all depends on the artist and the beat being used. I'm still in the process of learning and threads like these def help us learn techniques that would take years of trial and error otherwise. Thanx Def some good advice.

Just to eliminate the room rumble that is found in most homes. I also find giving myself a slight boost around 6khz to brighten up the sound of my voice. It makes it sound much more alive but I'm sure that really depends on the voice. I usually remove everything from 40hz and below. Just to eliminate the room rumble that is found in most homes.

That is a great all around mic. Usual suspect here is the room. Try recording your vocals in a different location. Even simply moving a few feet in any direction can help. Also try hanging some blankets in your recording location if you currently don't have any treatment and on that note if have a room that is too treated things can sound dead and boxy. T. @scilf

I have a sm57 which i use to record my vox, which is a great mic for recording guitars, but doesnt seem to do my voice justice. I sound boxy and cant seem to get it to sit right in the mix.
