Thanks ILTPFF,
I use a shure SM58 dynamic mic, balanced XLR cables and ART studio V3 preamp (set to warm vocals) these are connected to an Audigy 2 soundcard. (All bought from Ebay) I have everything set so that I can get the best volume without distortion and without having to amplify using software.
I used Adobe auditions ver.1 (Also Ebay) to record and added in a light reverberation called 'vocal chamber'.
The vocals and the guitar were recorded at the same time because I don't know how to use the multitrack part of the software yet.
I recorded a few tunes on 2 different days and found that the first day recordings were much better than the second day. Since I went to the trouble of noting all my settings on the first day, I can only assume that the difference was due to mic positioning - though I'm pretty sure it was very similar!! I'm a bit puzzled about that.
