...would you ask the horns (trumpet and sax) to share a ribbon mic? I ask, because I've got to record this band called the Hornettes this weekend in Toronto and I'm just toying with ideas on how to mic them up. Most of the mics will double as reinforcement, with a few spot mics specifically for the recording (drum OH and one or two to capture the crowd).
So basically, I'm asking whether or not any of you would consider using a ribbon in this situation for both horns to blow into and whether or not you'd use this mic as a house mic as well. There's certainly no lack of mics or anything, I'm just trying to keep phasing in mind. We've got about 15 SM57s, several Sennheiser 935s, a Beta 58, a couple ribbons, an MD421, two Rode M3s, a few LDCs (one multi-pattern), a few SDCs and one lonely 635a. I was also thinking of bringing along my H4n just for kicks, as I often like to capture performances from different spots in the house for reference later on when I'm mixing the tracks.
...maybe I shoulda put this in the recording section.
