hesdeadjim Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 i'm micing my first tuba ever. any tips? i've got access to a tlm-103, a senneheiser 421 an akg d112 or an at4033. sytek, grace and vmp-2 pre's. i'm thinking single large diaphgragm condenser about 3' above and about 30 degrees off axis from the bell. was thinking of a condenser to accent the bright/attack aspects of the tuba since there is so little of this information in the overall sound. (it's going to be mixed with trumpet, mandolin and accordian) what mics do you use? where you put them? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botch. Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 No tips, but I'd LOVE to hear this one! Botch "Eccentric language often is symptomatic of peculiar thinking" - George Will www.puddlestone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeton Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Naw man... don't worry about miking at all- just go down to the music store and rent an electric tuba. And don't cheap out with the single-coil mouthpiece, go for the full humbucker, since that gets the best gain and tightest thrashmetal tuba tones.....

Mats Olsson. Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I'd sure would love to try a Coles ribbon in front, distance 10 feet or more. Destined to sound full & warm. If you want a natural sound, I suggest that you try to keep some distance. Take a good listen to the instrument first so that you know how it is supposed to sound. Keep us posted! /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
