Hello there,
I am sure there has got to be a simple solution to this problem but I am clueless as to what it is...
A LITTLE BACKGROUND: I am a voice actor, so I don't use Reaper for music and I am very technically challenged.
I use an Alesis interface. My laptop is noisy so I put it in the next room and have rigged up a second monitor inside my recording booth. I have recently upgraded to using sound acoustical blankets. I am very familiar with Audacity and have no problems with the sound I get from it. However, I have started using Reaper the last couple weeks in order to utilize the non-destructive Punch & Roll editing system.
MY PROBLEM: I have downloaded and set up ASIO4ALL driver under Ctrl + Preferences and which solved a latency issue I had. But when I record in Reaper, the sound is very "canned"-- like I'm recording from a bunker somewhere. Not reverb, but canned is the only way I can describe it. I don't get this when I record using Audacity. I have no FX on in the tracks. I have not even begun to practice mastering my audio on Reaper yet. Do I have some setting that needs changed?
If there is more info I need to provide, just let me know! Thanks!
