Thanks nick I definitely will try all of that. Sorry about the improper placement

thanks guys! yea we originally had a trumpet player, but the ones around here seem to be pretty flakey at best.... i could probably wrangle one in to record a couple songs though thanks for the suggestions again, i'll have to try them out
