I did indeed. That's what I get for not paying attention. Thanks

I really think that nine inches is pretty good location, especially if not a good pop filter. I forget if the 1000 has different paterns or not. It is a 
slippery slope about room acoustics but I find with my nt2a that room
doesn't play too much of a part if the typical tardioid patern. Do think
four to five inches is too close though as could almost hear down your
throat that close with my mic.

I want to thank you all for responding to my question about recording
vocals. I have a Road NT 1000 and I'm not sure but I think this is
fairly  recent. I think that I might be too close, but then again is 4
to 5 inches  too close? If I move too far away I get the ambiance of
the room which I  don't want because it's harder to add affects after.
I would prefer to be  able to place the vocal in a room of my choosing
rather than have my  reverb  mixed with the sound from my record space.
Did someone say that I should  be  about nine to ten inches away? IN
that case I should look for a different  place to record my vocals.
Thanks again for your ideas.

May the peace  of God which passes all understanding gard your heart
and mind in Christ Jesus.

God bless you!

Yes, very important for many reasons to be about nine inches to a foot
away from a decent condensor. some really cheap condensors distort or
sound distorted no matter what. Of course your AKG is a very nice mic
for vocals.
Just picked up a Rode NT2A which I love and it has padding in case of
something being way too loud but have a feeling its mostly being a bit
too close unless using a dynamic mic of some kind like an SM57 or
SM58. For me, good condensor is only way to go and there are some
decent ones that aren't too expensive. Been real happy with Studio
Project C1 and the Rode NT1A is very affordable for real good sound
and quite sensitive. Dave

Maybe you're using a condenser microphone, and you might be too
close. I found this out the hard way, as I have an AKG414, and these
microphones are very sensitive. I'm naturally an alto, but I could
sometimes go into the mezzo Soprano and the soprano ranges, the
soprano range is the one that causes my voice to distort, as I
project the high notes, and sometimes I sit too close to the
microphone, which in turn causes distortion.

Subject: [ddots-l] Question about recording vocals

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some ideas about this. I have a
very dynamic voice. What I mean is that my dynamic range is very wide
Which is why I don't get why my vocals always seam to have a slitely
saturated sound with or with out compression. Maybe the best way to
describe it is that they always sound a little distorted. At first I
thought that maybe I was recording with too much compression on my
pre/amp. So then I made sure that the compressor was very light and I
still had the same problem. Then I decided to turn off the compressor
all together, but still no luck.
Anyone
have suggestions for me? I have run out of things to try.

Oh and I always make sure that my input meters don't go below -6.0.
May the peace  of God which passes all understanding gard your heart
and mind in Christ Jesus.

God bless you!
