All my recordings on my Shure Beta 58A in Ableton seem to be capped at 10 Khz by looking on the eq spectrum. This also applies for my other inputs, like my Macbook mic.
When I record through Audacity or other programs, my mic input is perfect and is well past 10 Khz. I have attached some pics of what it looks like.
I can of course record and export through audacity, I would just like to go through ableton and I'm not sure why this is happening. Both programs have In/Out Sample Rate at 44100.
With audacity (exported into ableton):

Let me know how to fix
SOLVED Jul 11:
Voice isolation
It could be that the Mic Mode for your Mac is set to "Voice Isolation". This would affect Live's ability to record audio properly:
To check this, when Live is open, click on the mic icon on the macOS toolbar on the top right of your screen and ensure that “Standard” is selected.

Is Warp switched off for both samples?
It’s impossible to tell anything from your pics because it’s clearly not the same moment/snapshot of the audio/track. One could be singing a sibilant and the other not. That would account for the difference seen in the pics.

friedpickles, thanks for posting the solution to this one. I didn't even know about that Mac audio function!
