I have fairly spacious music room
I want to record live dynamic duet of trombone and drums.

What microphone/s and set up would you recommend I will use

My maximum budget is $1200.

I will appreciate all you inputs.
Thank you very much !
 
Hi, how much stuff do you have already? I assume you have a reasonable computer? The simplest setup would be a pair of decent Large Diaphragm Condenser mics (I have Rode NT-1As which are great for the price (About £120 GBP each), a minimum 2-channel recording interface (e.g. the Focusrite 2i2 (about £100 GBP), two mic cables and stands and Digital Audio Workstation software. (Reaper is excellent, free to download and try out, $60.00 if you decide to buy the licence).

You'll have an excellent start there for about $600.00.

You could improve the quality with a bit of close-miking so you could opt for the Focusrite 2i4 or 2i6 and a couple of decent dynamic mics, such as the Shure SM57.
