Recording violin, cello and harpsichord

Hello!

I explain a little about my situation. I am a violinist and I have some experience in recordings (rather being recorded, which has given me some experience especially in editing) but I do not have much experience as far as recording equipment is concerned, now I only have a Zoom H6 and a couple of mics Studio Projects C4 with which I usually record some concerts.

Lavalier for Horn Mic

This is probably a really stupid question but I'm just getting started with this and I have a pretty tight budget. I was curious as to weather I could get away with using a cheap lavalier microphone from Amazon to mic a sax, trumpet, or trombone. Could one of these mics handle this or would it overload the mic as it's not exactly made for that?

New Project

This past weekend, I started a new project; it's an album being recorded for a charitable cause. Titled The O.A.S.I.S. Project, (Ohio Artists Singing In Support) net proceeds from the sales of this album, which includes a who's who of veteran Cleveland/Akron/Canton songwriters and musicians, will be donated to facilities that specialize in Opiate Addiction Recovery.

How much ISO do I need?

Ill try to make this short.

My wife and I just moved into our new build house. I am wanting to construct a home studio in the basement that can later be a nice man cave and/or home theater for the next buyers.

I read through Rod Garvais' book, and it seems a little over my head, but there are good points that I could take away from it.

FL Studio - Recording problems w/ interface

So, to start things off, I've been recording most of my music over the years on a simple USB mic (AT2020 to be exact), and as faithful as it's been since I've had it, I finally decided to jump to the next level and start working with XLR mics and recently bought an AT4040 (I'm overall very fond of Audio-technica -brand products), along with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd-Gen, One-Input interface.
