I just transitioned from a Firepod (circa 2006) to a Firestudio Mobile and for some reason the microphone sounds horribly muffled when as far as I know I haven't changed a thing besides the preamp. There's also some static on that track, as well, so I feel like something glaring is definitely not right here.

Hello all. I've recently purchased a Tascam DP-008 to records a few songs and I purchased a Shure SM58 mic along with it. I transferred my vocal track onto my computer and loaded it onto Audacity and it sounded really bad as in lifeless, dull, and dampened.
