Muddy Recording

Hi! I have Komplete Audio 6 and MOTU 624 audio interfaces and RODE Nt 1000 and another chinese condenser mic Takstar pc-k550 . I don't know why but when i'm record vocals i always get muddy sound, i tried everything but with no luck. This is not mixing issue, dont advise me cut everything under 100 hz and etc. Voice just sounds unnatural.

too much mud in the final mix

So I've been searching the internet for tips on how to keep from having too much 'mud' in the final mix of a track while still not having too much treble. It seems I always fall in to either category but I can never stay in that sweet spot. When I have the solo tracks they always seem fine to me, but in the final mix the mud comes out and I'm not sure how to go about correcting it properly.

How to get that nice thick sound W/O the mud

Hi all.

I am working on some songs that have a lot of high gain guitar tracks and I also want to bring out the bass. However, I am having some trouble getting around the muddy sound.

Any ideas or techniques that bring out the bass guitar and high gain guitar with out them sounding to 'muddy' post recording?

Thanks for your input.
