Thanks Lee, the thing about it is the main problem is some low end that sounds like its about to take off, so hopefully atleast with the HPF on it will eliminate this problem

hey

yeah was just gonna be my suggestion, was surprised it took until the second page for someone to suggest it.

There is nothing useful the human voice can produce below around 300Hz. Anything that the mic picks up below this will just be background noise, bangs, foot sounds, and as you can see spill from the kickdrum and bass guitar.  Now you probably wont want to high pass all the way up to there or the voices will start too thin, but you'll definitely want to engage it in some way to cut out all of that unwanted noise (as you would with many other instruments that don't have specific bass frequencies in them).

If its just a switch in our out, definitely turn it on. If you have a knob and can change the frequency, then use your ears. Start at maybe 120Hz and gradually turn it up until you get to the point where you still have a nice clear vocal sound, but it doesn't sound too thin or trebbly.

Bull crap.

Middle C is 261 and just about everyone can sing that.  The A above middle C (A4) is 440.

I can (and do) sing two octaves below that on a regular basis.  That's 110.

Or low notes sung by performers.
J. D. Sumner hit a G0 (24.5 Hz), one full tone below the lowest key on the piano the end of a 26-second slide at an Elvis concert in 1977.
He, and countless performers I have worked with regularly sing fundamentals octaves below 300 Hz.

The 100 Hz low cut on the Mix Wiz is a good compromise for most vocalists, 300 Hz is Tiny Tim Territory -Mickey Mouse.

Dick- I just found my voice dropped at least a half step, I can now hit the low E on a regular guitar, around 80 Hz, but tone wise don't think any bass singers need worry about me taking their gig..

I can hit the d below middle c consistently (147). Its the only note I can hit consistently but if anyone needs a drone in d I am your guy.

If I want to be rock=solid down to a low D (below your E) all I have to do is wet my head down and run around the block in the MN weather the day before...

I consistently hit the G, though, and use it as a relative reference in figuring out ringing frequencies.  I reference the tone of the ring to the G, then step up until I'm in the octave sequence of the ringing tone.  Count up the octaves, multiply the frequency and BAM!!!...organic feedback extermination.

No perfect pitch needed.

Thanks, Uncle Art!

That's nothing.  I can sing so low, it's DC.

Steve,

Around here, DC output is politely called passing wind, not singing  .
