Recording Jazz Trumpet

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.

Suggestions for recording trumpet and piano 4 audition tape?

Hi,

I'm putting together a recording for a recorded audition for an orchestra.

I will be recording mainly trumpet, but also with piano in parts.

The venue is quite live in acoustic , but not as bad as a toilet!

I will be using Logic Pro 6 with a MOTU 828.

need HELP - recording of sax and trumpet

need HELP !

during next weekend I have to record a sax and a trumpet (swing music) the first time in my life.

Recording Trumpet and Flugelhorn

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 . . . .
