I notice on many vocals the long E (EE) sound on vocals can be harsh and edgy and seems to be pushed forward. Examples would be words like ME, LEAVES, SEE, especially if the note is held or sustained. I thought is might be my system but noticed the same thing at dealers on various systems. Some recordings are definitely better than others and their also seems to be a correlation with how closely the singer is to the mic.
Since playback doesn't seem to be the major issue, I'm guessing it is the recording technique---microphone, placement, etc. Also, some vocalists probably handle this sound better than others. Anyway,
if you've had similar experience, would love to hear from you.
