Ummm...It's not really a matter of guessing. It's a matter of what gets you the sound YOU'RE looking for. If the room is big, and your mics are further away, you'll get more of the room sound in there or "natural reverb," if you'd like to think of it that way. It's all about what you prefer. The room is biggest factor in getting a good recording, I'd rather have an awesome room with just SM57s and Mackie pres to record an album than any amount of gear in a crappy room. But, if the name of this forum was "Roomslutz," it wouldn't be as fun and exciting, now would it?
