The audio was definitely clearer and of better quality when the microphone was held closer. When it was even only a yard farther back, the volume of the resulting recording was diminished noticeably and ambient sounds became much more overpowering. One qualm about having the microphone closer is that it made the sound maybe a little too piercing. But this is a small gripe, and having the microphone closer improved the sound in almost every way.

The fact that the readings are different make comparison slightly more difficult, but I enjoyed the variety in selections. I wouldn't say that the closer recording was as "piercing" as you may have thought. It may seem so in comparison to the far recording, but i think it simply comes out clearer. It is interesting to hear the level of background noise in the far recording, as it seems that you weren't in a private environment. However, this becomes much less obvious in the closer recording as there are few sounds other than your speech and the occasional rumble from the mic moving. This is a nice demonstration of the difference mic position makes in a recording.
