Just a few minutes of my last concert recording with a famous french horn player and my wife choral group

I am currently recording on a Fostex MR-8HD and transferring my (rather large) .wav files to my computer and ACID Music 3.0 (I know it's old!) for mixing, EQing, etc.

How would one go about Micing a French Horn? Just a dynamic, likely a 57, on the bell? Or, would a large diaphragm work? Or, ought I to just take a couple of small diaphragms and take the horn player into a good room and set those up? I'm not really sure, I've never recorded horns before (as I am just starting out with this stuff) and I don't know what I'm doing.

I was checking out the specs on these and noticed that the 3035 seemed to be much flatter overall and specifically in the 1-5k range that seems pretty important for most brass instruments. Anyone have experience with these mics on horns?

Last night I went to see a band that had a horn player. I quickly realized that if I were gonna record a band like that, shouldn't I get some sort of "clip on " mic. For doing horns, live.
Doesn't Sennheiser make a clip on? Or is the Audio-Technica pro 35ax the way to go? Or which other mic would be good for doing horns and such?

I am recording through my Digi 002 and my best mic is a MXL V69 tube (mogami edition). I also have a PreSonus "Blue Tube" stereo pre.

First, should I use the Blue Tube pre or the 002 pre? If I use the Blue Tube, how do I achieve a rich tone (warm)?

Second, any placement and setting tips for getting a rich sound. So far all is too thin . . . .

Hi there.
I am tracking these two instruments, and am hopeing for some sugestions, as to mic choice and placement. Should I place them on a wooden floor?
They won't be tracked at the same time.
THanks in advance

Hi Group -

This is my first post in this section. Tomorrow I'm set to run sound for a high school jazz (horn) ensemble outdoors. I'm planning on using two 57's in a "Y" pattern for the group coverage. Also - another 57 or two for solos.

Am I way off on the "group" mics? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi friends,
I will be soon recording a Horns Band, with 35/40 very young but good musicians on a budget project.
I have previuosly recorded nice small Camerata CDs and horns section inside my studio, but now it will be a complete different approach.
I have the following mics on here:
2 AT 4050
2 C3000B

What mic/mics and techniques are you using to record trumpet, flugel horn and sax? I am extremely
happy with my vocal mic (BLUE BlueBerry) but it doesn't seem to cut it for trumpet. With a budget of about $500.00,should I be looking at large or small diaphragm condensers?
