Good night bed time 
habes a good one eberybodys ♥
Jmur...
I mentioned that my friend had a Behringer thingy ( technical term, don't try it at home )... turns out he had two and I was only remembering the one that sold but I still have the mixing board... I've never tried either so I haven't got an impression about them quality wise other than the recordings I mixed down, these were used in most of not all of them.
First about the Behringer Tube Ultragain T1953 Microphone/Preamplifier... he really liked this one but I had gotten the impression he didn't use it as often as he would have liked... perhaps because he didn't sing often so there were only limited chances ... too me, a tube mic preamp just sounds all warm and cozy
The other item is a Behringer Eurorack UB1832FX-PRO 18-Channel Mixer. This is kind of a cool little home studio mixer ... It's got 6 mono inputs ( the XLR's can provide phantom power if needed), 4 stereo inputs, a monitor output, an FX input master ( not sure if this is only for the onboard effects or also includes an input for external ones or not ), two submixes and two main ( stereo ) mixes. There are 98 onboard effects ( they claim 99, but I don't call a test tone an effect ) with 2/3's of them allowing channel mixing and the remaining 1/3 are for the main or sub outs only. Then there is the 9 band EQ for the output also.
Anyway... thought you'd find these neat as I do.

I keep thinking of what you'd said about the last recording sounding better through your "cans" in reference to the bass. I still contend that despite the mic issue I'd mentioned, I feel this has been one of your cleanest sounding recordings that I recall, that I heard all of the instruments well and they were well mixed... On your voice, it was certainly clear and easy to understand... I just felt it lacked the dynamics it should have and was a bit dull instead of lively...
Still back to your comments... One of the things I did after getting my mixes done the way I wanted first through... Was that I burned the initial mixes down to a CD and then listened to them first on my own computer, then my media center and finally on my Escapes stereo ( which I really like )... I also felt that mix lacked the bass ( overall, not just the instrument ) it should have had. This was when I purchased my Sens headphones and they helped a lot... but more importantly during the mix I was able to compensate for that with my EQ... did a reburn and retested. It ended up taking about 10 remixes before I got the lack of bass compensated to where I liked it... aka not having too much or too little etc. I also went back into the main mixes and tweaked a few channels here and there, but most was the overall EQ.
So the suggestion is... go back listen to your mix as it is now in your "cans"... then re-EQ it to where you think it'd also sound good on your other equipment... rinse and repeat.
I also wonder if, on your mic, you may have mixed out something in your voice ( with the EQ ) that you didn't care for personally and that resulted in the duller sound. To me it just sounded like a "tired" diaphragm but it wouldn't be the first time that I've heard of a singer not caring for their own voice in some manner and then making changes in the EQ in an attempt to get it to hear like it sounds in their own head. ... I'm not buying the last of this, but it was a thought that I felt I should bring up just in case there was a basis for it. A dead give-away would be an EQ frequency that is attenuated more than a standard curve can account for.

Good Morning Everyone...
Hi Moonie.....Hi Aggie....Hope you guys are having a good day!
I had to laugh at this. Soooo you know last night was the first night that I recorded. So I was listening to it back and all of a sudden the strangest noise came through....it was the dog moaning in its sleep LOL....then once again I got excited cause I heard music.....but then I remembered that my mother got up in the middle of the night and it is prolly just the tv. I haven't had a chance yet to listen to anymore but I am thinking not much is coming through
and...apparently I snore more than I thought I did LOL

I'd try this ( if I had money to spend etc )... but I suspect I'd bore most spirits being an introvert and pretty much keep to myself...
