Re: Recording group vocals (2-4 guys)
All of the above? All of the ways listed, if done correctly will work. I suppose you would need to ask yourself how comfortable are you with recording all at once and not being able to mix later, and how comfortable are the musicians with being recorded one at a time versus all together. Me, if I were in a good sounding room with four vocalists who were experienced (emphasis on experienced), with the mic you mentioned, I would record them sort of huddled around the front of the mic...shuffling singers closer and farther away from the mic until I had a good balance. Ideally though, I would prefer to use a mic that has more of an omni or even figure 8 pattern to record like this, as that would give me much more flexibility in where I could place my singers.
Just my few cents.
