When I sing/rap how far should I be from my condensor mic?

How far should I be from a mic when I sing/rap into it?

and how far should I be from the pop filter?

 

[Track Rat]

Far enough that it doesn't pop or increase sibalance.

The general rule is a fist's-width away.
Make a fist, and put it up to your mouth like you're going to blow into it. the mic should be on the pinkie side of your hand, at least that far away.

the truth is there are no rules about how far you should be from your condenser..... if you vocals sound better when you're closer, maybe because of the proximity effect, then so be it...... if it sounds better backed of, then use that.....

you just have to listen....

There are no set rules... maybe start with the pop filter a couple of inches away from the mic and your mouth a few inches away from the pop filter... but the main thing is to experiment until it sounds best.

You asked this at rm.com, DJL gave you the same answer here, as I did there.

If getting too close sounds better but increase plosives, try singin at a 30 or 40 degree angle from the mic.
