Greetings my droogs. I wanted to inquire what would be the optimum distance from a microphone for a vocalist with a strong vocal presence to stand as opposed to someone with softer vocal presence? Should the person with the prominent voice stand further away from the microphone and vice versa should the person with the softer vocal tone stand closer? If given an array of microphones to choose from which would you consider ideal for spoken word/hip hop? Perhaps a Large or Small diaphragm condenser mic? What must be absolutely considered when preparing for a final mix of the recorded product?
