Recording of a folk/gospel cover

A preface: I am a complete and absolute amateur in every way. This is my first real attempt at recording my vocals and guitar. I used a http://www.samsonte… Samson CO1U condenser microphone for the vocals and guitar, then edited them in Adobe Audition CS6.

I am looking for any specifics tips you can give me on the recording and editing process.

Rokit 5, Rubicon 5, or anything else for indie/folk

I heard the Rokit 5's at GC and thought they had a high roll off that would be very troublesome. However I heard through forums and reviews that the Rubicons have a low roll off thats annoying.

The music i'm mixing is folky/indie stuff. Mostly acoustic guitars, drums, bass, electric guitar, synth, various percussion.

Thoughts about recording the crowd at a folk music show

Here's the situation - well known, well regarded, well recorded (over MANY years) folk singer. He played for us last year - the first time in our town - the crowd was great, knew much of his music, great sing-alongs with harmonies from the audience, etc. The performer asked to come back and play again this year.
