Question for Will or maybe Dan.

[Det Som Engang Var]

How far away should I have the sound I'm recording from an instrument to the mic?

Not guitar, I plug that shit in. Tin whistles and such.

Just FYI... the guitar player in my old band is a recording freak and he frequents the Andy Sneap forum here for advice. I'd try your question there, too.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I've never been there, feels kinda weird.

 

[Will Bozarth]

They typically say to keep your mouth a fist's length away from the microphone. Since your voice is an instrument, I'd say keep it at that.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Thanks Will. Acoustic neo folk myspace coming very soon. If I could only work less.

 

[Will Bozarth]

cool. I'd wait for Dan or someone to answer the question or confirm my answer, though. I always plug things in directly

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Are you still willing to collab on some vocals when I get my metal stuff ready? I'll write lyrics for you of course.

 

[Will Bozarth]

absolutely

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Thank you sir. All my stuff is blogged, I just don't know which songs I want to keep and change.

It'll be awhile though. I'm more into the folk thing right now.

 

[Will Bozarth]

yeah, just let me know
