Re: Recording Imbalance?

STRANGE THING, acoustics.... I really wish I could have taken courses during Engineering school, but it wasn't even offered in my program.

So I found a good place to put my microphone (recorder) relative to my computer so it doesn't have to blow my ear-drums out. If I sit close by and blow sideways away from the mic., the balance is great but of course I hear my mouth noise (licking reed, breathing and such): if I stand 6 feet away and play to the microphone, no mouth noise and I sound "foggier": you can tell I'm farther away.

Now the funny thing is that when I stand farther away (closer to the room walls) I hear the computer more loudly than when I sit close by!

Any comments/observations are very welcome! Especially comparisons between studio (home or other) recording and live recital/concert recording.
