Anyone have a suggestion for a brass instrument mic. Trombone in particular. I would like the type the clips to the bell and is appropriate for recording a brass sound. I would be running this into a compressor at minimum and probably eq as well.
Where do you want to record? on a live gig or in a studio? In the studio Never use a clipon! use a ribbon or condenser mic. U can pick up a "AKG perception 200/400" for very reasonable prices that sound 1literally 1:1 like a 414. look up NewYorkBrass.com - we have a comprehensive brass recording guide there.
and it's a good thing cause the answers are questionable... the perceptions are not like a 414 IMO... and to suggest that brass is easy and just get a 57???
i do like dynamics for trombones though... i started out as a trombone player... an re20 works real well i think...
