So I'm trying to figure out how essing manifests itself and how to avoid it. I just made a recording over the weekend, and I noticed it. I've never had this problem before recording music, and never with these mics. But I did use a new configuration so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. It also could have been the way it sounded live over the PA, and it just recorded what was there... I can't really remember if it was there live. So my normal setup is sennheiser me66's > motu traveler or ultralite > iBook. Friday I went > mics > ultralite > analog line in on HiMD recorder. Now I've often went mics > samson mixpad 4 > HiMD, but never with the ultralite in there as a stand-alone. So could the essing be the preamps in the ultralite combined with the line-in on the MD?
Here's the show:

And on the post end of things, what can be done to deemphasize the essing? Is there a certain frequency range I should cut?
TIA
