This is a pretty basic question, but what volume do people tend to record at for an optimal sound? Since I've lived in an apartment for a long time, I've tended to use 1 or 2 on my marshall 80 watt valvestate. But now that I have a house, I figure I can crank it up a little. I guess that leads to the next question, how far away to put the mic. Up until now, I keep the mic right up on the grille, but I'm guessing the louder the amp, the further back I have to move the mic (I use a delta 1010lt and I'm not sure if there's a way to change the input gain through the interface, i think you can make the preamps less or more hot). So I'm just wondering how everyone else is doing it so I can get better results. Thanks!
