Hi,
I'm looking to record Alto and Tenor sax (1 track at a time) to create a
3-5 piece section. I'm looking for tech advice (which mic(s) to use) as
well as logistical stuff (mic placement, EQ/Compression settings, etc).
The mics I have at my disposal are:
Studio Projects C1
Audio Technica AT 822 (stereo)
2 Oktava MK-012's
As well as a handful of dynamic mics (Audix and Behringer, mostly SM58
clones).
I can run through either an Audiobuddy preamp or the preamps on a
Behringer mixer.
Any suggestions on which mic(s) and preamp combinations might be best?
Any suggestions on mic placement, EQ and compression settings, etc?
Anything else to consider? I'm not a newbie by any means, but I'm
mainly self-taught in studio recording, so I tend to re-invent the wheel
everytime I record. Any advice from the pros would save me a lot of
time and headache.
Thanks,
chris.
P.S. Incidentally, I'm mixing the saxes with sampled bass, drums, and
Rhodes, as well as ambient sound effects.
