All great information. Thanks!

Thanks for your answers. I appreciate it. I've only exported 3 songs at 32 bit so far. I'll go back and redo them at 24 bit.

I've been exporting my mixed songs at a 32 bitrate. What is the normal bitrate to export a wave file?

I found the issue. It was a Waves de-esser. When I deleted it, everything was normal.

I will do that and see. My mics, though, are not cheap. I'm using a Stam Audio SA87, which is a good mic. Thanks!

Sorry, but I don't know what other info to give. I have soloed it, which is how I discovered the issue. I recorded it a while back and am in the process of mixing. It seemed fine a couple of days ago, but when I soloed it to check it out, I heard some distortion. I also had compression on the track but had to turn it way down from where I had it originally because it no longer sounded as clean. I did not record it too hot, btw.

The vocals I recorded on a certain song were fine after I recorded them but are now distorting in a couple of areas. They weren't distorting after I recorded them, but they do a little bit now here and there. Does anyone know what would cause that?

I've had the WA12 for about 3 years, so it's not under warranty. At this point, I don't know what they could do. The WA12 sounds better than my interface. I just don't like the ringing it does on certain consonants.

I had the mic in a closet a while back. Same issue.

I've been looking at the Camden EC1. Thanks!

Suggestions for a decent mic pre?

When I record vocals, the mic pre that I've been using (Warm Audio WA12 Mkll) sounds like it feeds back with some consonants. I tried turning the gain way down, but when I sing certain consonants, it's like it feeds back (slight ringing). It's not the mic, because it does it with every mic I use. And I have a little vocal booth I made. I'm thinking it's the mic pre. Maybe someone has an idea of what the issue could be. Or perhaps a recommendation for a better mic pre.

It's working. Thanks for your help!

I will try it when I'm able to get to my computer later. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll let you know.

I've been using Melodyne for years. I haven't used it in a while though. When I tried to open it (CTRL + M), nothing happens. I even tried to re-install it. Nothing. Suggestions?
