After recording my voice, once i copy and paste the file, it sounds flat and looses brightness

Question

In my radio work, I record one large file with several audio breaks. Then I copy each individual piece of audio and paste it to another file before uploading it to FTP. The problem is, the audio sounds bright when I first voice the break and play it back, but once I paste it into another file, it sounds flat and slightly muffled. Any ideas of why this might be happening?

I'm using AE C6 recording with a Neumann T103 with a 286 DBX mic processor and using a Focusrite 2i2 interface and a windows desktop.

Thanks for your response.  That's exactly what I did and what I would assume.   But when I play back what I just recorded, it sounds bright.  But that same audio, when I select it, copy it and paste it into a file already labled, when I play that same audio back again, it's muffled a little bit.  Not a deal breaker but definitely not what I first heard.  I'm wondering if the shell file I created originally is somehow corruped or impaired in some way.  Perhaps recreating all those files that hold the new audio will remove any lingering coding that might be altering the sound.
