Recording only with a microphone Anonymous 2017-06-06 06:47:32 Post No. 73213442 [Report]

Hey guys. I'm completely new to recording and I'm trying to record some of my songs. My setup is a Logitech USB microphone (Pic related), My casio privia electric piano and Reaper. What would be the best position to put the microphone as I want to record the piano and vocals at the same time, or if you have a better way to record with this setup I'd love to hear it.

I basically do the same thing with reaper and portable recorders and iphones

depending on what you're going for you can get the least bad quality if you keep the mic far enough away so that there is some subtlety to the sounds that are supposed to be over the louder stuff

Thanks, what distance would you suggest for a moderately calm song with no real dynamics?

Find a daw that you are comfortable with.
I use a focusrite, ableton and condensor mic.
Dynamic mics tend to be shit at recording.
Just a few feet from and facing the mic should be adequate. Experiment with recording at distances if that is what you are asking.
