Equipment to be used...

I've been asked by a few of you about what I'll be using on the session. The tenative plan is for the following instruments to be used:

1. Sonare' tr800s Bb (stock slide). 50-60% of the disc will be on this horn
2. Yamaha 631 Flugel 20%
3. Schilke P5-4 10% (probably one piece)
4. '39 Martin Handcraft 10% (ditto)

Mouthpieces:
all mouthpieces will be Wedge pieces. The one I'm using the most is the new 3MC SST with a 25 throat Dr. Dave recently crafted. On the flugel I'll use the 3XLX SST and on pic the 3C SST.

Microphones:

So far here's the list of mics we're going to use. Thanks to your support I could muster up some real nice mics:

AMT Studio 800. for close mike sound and consistency (this mic is amazing!) I know a lot of heavies are using this mic for some great CDs. I recently recorded this clip on my laptop with the AMT http://tindeck.com/listen/hmbs and I think it sounds fantastic! In a professional studio it will be great.

Vintage Ribbon (RCA) and Neumann TBA about two feet away
Two Royer Ribbons 15-20' away for room sound.
The preamps the studio has are fabulous as well. That's why we can use some great ribbon mics which IMO are the best for trumpet.

We have other ideas as well but it will really depend on what we get from the initial setup.

Thanks again for your support and stay tuned for sneak peeks soon!
