Raw vocal issue???

[jerberson12]

Hi,

I checked some Youtube video demo about my mic AKG Perception 820 Tube. They said that they didnt use any effect (Comp, EQ, etc). Just straight MIC-> Preamp -> Audio Interface (They didnt mention what kind). I can hear that it sounds so flat and natural, flat high ends, flat low ends, balanced. And also, the vocal came out so that it occupies only a tiny bit of space and still have room for other tracks to be added.

My setup is the same. AKG 820 - > Digidesign PRE - > Digidesign 96 INterface. No effects. BUt the result came out that theres a lot of sibilance coming out from the vocal. The settings from my preamp are all default, no EQ, no Low Cut. The high ends are too high and also when you hear it, it takes a lot of space from the mix, it sounded that it took the whole spectrum. I know I can probably fix it by adding effects but it should be the same as the one above. Im having this issue for a long time and its hard to mix this way.
