acoustic recording question concerning reverb effect

What is the best way to record? With the reverb already set on my mixing board or bare bones at first and then added through mixcraft later? Also i'm using a perceptions 220 mic, and it has a bass filter, the sound is really full with it off but of course it picks up and pin drop from a mile a way, but when I add bass filter it cuts the sounds but also doesn't sound nearly as full, what can I do?

You should always record with no effects. Add them with Mixcraft. Once you record a few times, you'll be glad you did it.

As far as the microphone, if it is piking up the neighbors cat meowing, then i would use the filter. Enhance your track after recording by using chorus, reverb, equalizer, stereo widening effect, etc.
