I just got a new trumpet. I'll be recording real trumpet on my LP coming in the summer, including a Star Spangled Banner Remix. It'll have Synths on the backup and the lead melody on Trumpet.
Does anybody have any tips and techniques for recording and mixing trumpet? I've read you're supposed to keep the condensor mic at least 5-6 feet away from the bell of the instrument. The trumpet is super loud and usually clips the track in the mixer. So I've been turning the volume down to compensate, but I'm sure there's a better way to dampen the sound without losing energy.
Please share if ya know anything. Thanks!
