Answer
Deirell,
I listened to a few of your tracks and I do hear what you are talking about. The vocals are little loud in the mix, they sound uncontrolled and they have a "horn like" sound to them. Let me ask some questions before I answer your questions.
1. What type of mic are you using?
2. Are you recording directly to a computer or are you using an audio interface?
3. Do use a seperate mixer or a computer based one?
4. Where are you placing your mic when you record?
5. Are you using an external compressor or a computer based one?
6. Now, what sounds like the main problem. What are your compression settings? Threshold, ratio, attack, release and output?
These should help me fix your issues.
