Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum, and I predominantly record rock/metal bands but I've recently asked by an acquaintance to record is his jazz group (Instrumentation: drums, bass, piano, tenor sax).

I'm running PT 8, using an 8-pre interface and have pretty good mics, but i've been using a lot of drum replacement software thats been getting me good results

Hi everyone!
I'm a professional jazz piano player, I'm from Italy and my english is not so good, so excuse me in advanced.
My goal is this: recording professionally a jazz trio (piano, double bass, drums) in my room with only two microphones.
I know it could sound absurd, but:
-I put some Vicoustic panels on the walls.

hello, I'm a trumpet player and I was wondering if anyone has any expirience with recording trumpet players as a solo instrument. What are some good techniques to help get the full sound of the instrument.

I'm really aiming for two particular sounds. One being that early Miles Davis quintet sound and the other that Roy Hargrove/Christian Scott sound.

here are examples:

Hello everyone, Im being faced with a challenge, i need to record a jazz trio, my gear is limited to a mixer an 8 track recorder, only can record 2 tracks at a time, and half a dozen mics 2 large condensers 2 small, and 2 dynamics

What would be the best way to go about this, instruments in trio are Piano, Drums, and electric bass

Thanks, hope to hear from you all!

Dear Engineers,

We are trying to record our jazz trio inside a small ..13'x19'x9' room.

looking at everything from the front, it's just like a 13x19 stage and if you are on the audience side looking at the stage, here how we are set up in the room:

Grand Piano on the left , Drums in the center, Upright Bass on the right

Hello all...

As a service to my university and friends, I record live student performances at my school... I've recently acquired a whole new rig that has been working quite well so far. It is a DAW as follows (brief spec):

alright, I'm recording our highschool jazz band (best in the state of arkansas). I have a multi track sound card, so each drum is on a different track and all that stuff and i wouldnt say that I'm limited by equipment by any means.

But to the point, if anyone has any tips/ techniques to recording Sax section, brass section, or on any aspect of jazz recording PLEASE POST THEM.

I've got the XM radio and I've become a bit bored with the 60s, 70s and 80s, so I've been flicking around and landed on a couple of the jazz stations.

I have no plans to record a jazz band anytime soon, but I'm curious about how they are recorded, specifically the bass, acoustic or upright bass.

I am an Orchestrator/Producer/Pianist in Venezuela, with 30 yrs. experience in studio work, and from 5 yrs. now I have my own proyect studio (Built on PTLe).

Hi all

I've recorded a jazz band a few times
(in one of their homes, living room)
I'm starting to get a good sound on disk

In a few weeks they'll be playing live in a foyer (sort of)
Think 8x8meters and 4 meters high
There'll be about 40 visitors

Maybe some of you have some recording tips for me
