issue when recording vocals

Gswitz:   Thank you!  

Not quite sure what you mean though about using a figure 8 mic sideways with no headphones.

Have you got input monitoring switched on and direct monitoring at the same time?

For vocals, I ONLY listen to the interface. Especially for Greg as there has to be something screwed up in the routing. 
Take CbB completely out of the equation.

just my nickel98 here.

have you got another mic/cable you can test/compare?

Ignoring for the moment your impression that the direct-monitoring sound has changed, if there's a radical difference between monitoring and playback - other than the (significant) factor that some room and 'in-head' sound will be heard while recording - it could be in the project configuration. If this is happening in projects all started from some custom template, possibly that template has changed. Do you hear the same difference recording and playing back in a new project from the Basic template with no backing tracks?

I went into Preferences and clicked on Disable input monitoring.  Problem seems to be solved.  I tried recording vocals and they sounded normal, not bright at all.

Thanks, everyone, for all your suggestions!
