Recorded Messages for phone contest

I have attempted to record the exchange for upcoming phone QSO party.  The audio sounds great but more like broadcast than contest audio. Not good enough to even consider really.

Will be trying to set this up with N1MM. Is there any way to record through your normal contest element microphone to get a better frequency response?  I am sure there is but just trying to figure out what people are doing.

    I must be missing something Craig.  As a test I am just trying to use the Win10 voice recorder which works fine using a PC mic. But if I switch my windows default mic to the Flex DAX mic, it is not recording anything.  Is there anything else you need to do on Flex?

    EDIT: I think I figured it out.  Totally missed the Mic Stream on the DAX control panel which was OFF.  Thanks Craig.

    Yes, this works very well--no additional software necessary.  One benefit of doing it this way is it uses the Flex audio chain.  The raw audio file is recorded without any processor but your processor setting is applied when you transmit the macro.
