Hello. I'm new to recording. I want to improve the process. To rec Piano & Trumpet, (at the same time,house) I have been using direct tape deck and 2 r-shack small omni. Then audio-transfer to computer software via reverb, then edit and burn. (Learned to rec on computer was a learning stage..) Point.
Need a more trumpet-original sound (clear).
I'm thinking on moving now to digital rec perhaps on multitrack digital (those advertised like flash cards, fostex, boss, x, if removable keeps data for + storage) and try PZM omni (radio shack) or shure 57, then audio-transfer the same way to computer software via reverb, then edit and comp. burn.
I've heard to place mics not on table, but hanging.
Perhaps ev. is wrong. New to technical area. Dont' have the enough knowledge to decide which way to go to improve.
Would like to ask somebody:
Will this improve sound just because of different equipment?
Limited budget. Non-comercial goal.
Need tips, information about:
Is this an acceptable process? Can somebody give me suggestions or modifications?
Can I rec 4 mic track to MD then mix down only 2 to choose the best 2 (sound) from the 4?
Rec to flash cards > or = than to HD? (sound, capacity, x).
Thanks a lot for guide.
