Members Sick boy78 Posted September 22, 2013 Members Share Posted September 22, 2013 Do you experience this while performing? When I sing maybe 15 to 20 tunes it seems as though my vocals start to sound muddy in my mix. I always start out very clear sounding and the vocals are set to kinda "pop" out in the mix, but after time it sounds kinda meh.. I never play crazy loud, it just acoustic stuff. So maybe I'm just crazy. Or is this common among singers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bob Dey Posted September 22, 2013 Members Share Posted September 22, 2013 Record the whole night and listen to it later on to see if it's something besides your ears. Ear fatigue is when you don't notice the volume anymore because your ears got used to it. Sounds like maybe speaker fatigue. What PA are you using?

Members Potts Posted September 22, 2013 Members Share Posted September 22, 2013 I don't know Bob... As far as I know fatigue can plague certain frequencies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daklander Posted September 23, 2013 Members Share Posted September 23, 2013 Stage monitors? Maybe they are too loud and your ears are getting tired.The only time anything remotely similar to that is when the number of people in the audience changes and there are a lot more people in the venue but I usually play sans stage monitors.

Members Bob Dey Posted September 23, 2013 Members Share Posted September 23, 2013 Sounds like you've got quality equipment but there could be a ghost in the machine. Could it have something to do with your mic? Since only your voice is becoming distorted it seems the cause would be somewhere in the mic/mixer/speaker chain. Could be improper gain stucture... maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sick boy78 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2013 I keep everything, gain and volume as close to unity or right on it. I'm using an sm 58 and go through a tc helicon voice create which has a tone boost. It gives a lot of clarity to the vocal and I keep my vocal channel EQed flat. Like I said, when I start playing at any time the vocals pop nice, awesome clarity and balance. But after awhile it sounds like I lose my highs. I lose that crisp sound, and to me it seems buried. So I think it might be my ears? Just because of the fact that when I play the next time with everything set the same, it sounds great. Idk, man. It's just weird.

Members Sick boy78 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2013 I will add that my guitar seem to be fine. At least it sounds pretty much the same through out sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shart Posted September 23, 2013 Members Share Posted September 23, 2013 I had the same pedal a few years ago, the TC voicetone create. It sounded good when it worked but it would simply stop working in the middle of a jam session. I bought it new. I'd have to unplug and plug it back into to make it work again. This happened too frequently for it to ever be used live. I let a friend borrow it and he had the same issues. The problem might be your pedal.
