1. Do distance vary with recordings? If so, how far or how close does a singer/rapper have to record?
2. I own an 8-channel Behringer mixer.. Do EQ settings from mixer vary? What settings should I use, say dealing with knobs.. My mixer is connected to M-Audio Audiophile sound card.. I use a Nady System condenser mic, in case you ask.. How about the mic volume? What volume should I set it to? My friend (recording engr), told me that I should record on a very low volume, that way, the track doesn't blast when mixing..
P.S.
I just found out that sitting while recording give you a laid back smooth-type vocal, while standing, can give you a powerful-hype up vocal.. I also watch this MTV Series Christina's MTV diary. She was recording her song lying down.. I think it was for a mellow song.. Are there any other ways to record which give effects on the vocals?
