Title: Recording a brass band , wandering if LDs or SDs would sound better.
Post by: Ray76 on August 01, 2005, 01:00:23 PM: They bill themselves as psychadelic funk rock brass music, and will be playing in a small jazz club next friday. Didnt know if a particular style of mic is more suited to brass instruments, have AT4050s, and MG200/210s and maybe will have DPAs 4061s by then.

getting 50 bucks and free beer to record em, so lookin for suggestions as to mic types/patterns, configs , etc to do em right...

If they are mic'd individually > PA. I'd run the MGs in a normal stereo pattern according to the venue, location etc.

no mics or few mics. runt the AT's on stage split (omni) . It'd be nice to also add some AUD mics to this mix as well,

Good stuff Fozzy. they arent micd individually, in a small venue, so looks like the ats are the ticket.

will probably throw the m20s in there too.
