Mic Placement

anonymous 17 October 2009

I was using this mic in a classroom. No carpet. Mic was about 4.5 feet from the bell of the trumpet.

ADK Vienna Edition Cardioid True Condenser Microphone

It was recorded on a macbook/DP6/Apogee Duet. I used a small amount of EQ and added a little bit (5%) reverb from the ProVerb on DP6.

It still sounds hollow. Am I using the wrong mic to record trumpet?

Here is the sound clip. Thanks.

I will give that a shot, thanks. How far back do you think the m

I will give that a shot, thanks. How far back do you think the mic should be from the end of the bell? Should I just go dry, no reverb from DP? Thanks again for the response.
