Lemme guess: Chinese ld condenser mic?

As a beginner, you might wanna try this: roll off everything on the top and low end so all you listen to is 7K - 12K. If the S's only bug you time to time, use a desser of some kind. If it's annoying all the time, just dip out the frequencies that make the speakers spit in your face.

I'm not familiar with Sonar's audio side, so I'm afraid I can't be much help there.

Also, I very often like sending the un-dessed vocal to the verb instead of the processed vocal. Good luck and have fun experimenting.
