    I have no experience with music recording equipment or singing through a PA. I'm wondering if what I am hearing is accurate.
    I am using a Sony ICD-ST digital voice recorder to record my singing for the purpose of working on my voice. It is designed for dictation or to record meetings, etc. and does a pretty good job with that. When I play it back with headphones the tonal quality of my voice sounds ok. When I download it onto the computer for playback, or burn a CD and play it on a portable player, my voice lacks resonance--the sound is a bit flat or dampened down. Do you think its me, or is it the recorder? FYI, I have a low voice for a woman, but I always thought I had sufficient resonance until now.
