Ain't Nothin' But a Horn Dog

This is just going to be a short little update on the recording session I had today with Tenor Horn player Laura Duffy...

Horns in general are a funny instrument to record and everyone will tell you the 'right way' to record them. Well I wasn't really looking for the right way, just the best sounding way to my ears. I ended up going for a 'close' mic'd Direct Hyper Cardioid Mic (a foot away I'd say - Not quite Beatle Esque) And a room mic added in for good measure.

Double the Track, pan it a little bit and add some reverb and you get something like this...

I had to eq the horn sounds a little bit so that they weren't fighting the bass guitar for space. But thats it!

I'm running out of sneak peaks... pretty soon i'll be linking teasers for the songs themselves,

until then,
