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 !

during next weekend I have to record a sax and a trumpet (swing music) the first time in my life.
Unfortunately I don't have a seperate recording room and it will be quite difficult to get real control over the tone during tracking. Also intensive testing and trials might be difficult. Therefore I need to do it the first time right.

Hello,

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 . . . .

does anyone have any advice they'd like to share concerning getting a punchy yet smooth tone when recording trumpet?

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?

:( Are there any effects that are usually used in the mixing process for trumpets or any pro tricks that anyone knows about trumpet recording, mixing, compression, or effects?

thanks :p
