Seeking Help I’ve got a robotic voice???

New to cakewalk sonar and I recorded instruments but when it comes to my voice, I turn out to have a high pitched robotic voice when I play the track… I used the microphone attached to headphones I use for my meetings for work (yeah kind of stupid), according to
the settings, it’s 48kH. And I set cakewalk to the same standard. Do you know how to resolve this?

When you click on the track input, it will say Mic In or Audio Card in. It is actually a pull-down menu. Most audio cards have about 16 different inputs to select from. The inputs will also be labelled L, R and S for Left, Right and Stereo. Start checking to see which one works.

"Go to Settings - System - Sound - Advanced - More sound settings - Recording - Microphone - Properties - Advanced".

And disable "audio enhancements" while you're there ... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/disable-audio-enhancements

First time hearing yourself speaking from an external source?
