Yes, I can EQ some in Real Band, but I was hoping to record a more natural sound from the fiddle. As I mentioned, when I record to my phone or tablet, there is a warmer tone to the music. Real Band seems to push the treble much too high and there doesn't seem to be in way to control the tone in RB or in Windows on the input side.

I elected not to go with a condenser mic, but a bridge pickup instead, so that 1. I wouldn't have to wear headphones when recording and worry about whether the washing machine is running! and 2. to eliminate feedback issues when performing live.
