trombones are the loudest brass instrument. Ribbon mics are a good choice. Of course, a sponsored tutorial will include ads, but if you read between the lines, it's good advice.
It is worth noting that miking the tuba should often be considered more like miking the horn. Certainly, in concert hall situations, the tuba's characteristic sound is reflected just as the horn's is. The classical tuba sound is reflected from the shell of the playing area and is consequently fairly indirect. Overhead miking can result in a narrow and somewhat breathy or thin sound.
Miking the horn from the front or even significantly off-axis (like next to the player's right knee) rather than from the rear (a.k.a. "up the b--t")? Absolutely. --- THANK YOU for pointing this out!!!
Paradox Box I understand that assumption, but in actuality, the higher range of the euphonium requires more room to resonate, in order to achieve a full sound. In all honesty though, the tuba should be miced more like the French horn as well.
@Lothins as someone who plays both quite well, you hit the nail on the head, they are recorded basically the same, but with upright instruments, the higher pitched the further away from the mic you need to be to get the echo from the room.
Fontinalus it’s entirely dependent on the player. As a euphonium, I can attest to the fact that yes, trumpets are capable of playing at a forte with ease, but additionally, their lower pianissimos are much more shrill in tone, as the small mouthpiece requires a high level of experience to achieve a consistent and full sound. The euphonium and trombone, on the other hand, are much better at maintaining fullness through the lower dynamic markings, and trust me, trombones know how to blast.
couldn't you use a SM57 type of mic? It's a dynamic mic and i was under the impression that those would work for brass and instruments with high dynamic range instead of having to buy a ribbon mic
Hi Justin! Different microphone types have pros and cons and different microphones may be used depending on the application. For a live setting where other loud sound sources are nearby, a dynamic microphone may be used whereas in an acoustically treated studio setting, condenser or ribbon microphones are often chosen. - A-T USA

I have a room with untreated walls. Could I get a dry sound if I setup blankets along all four walls of the room for recording? Acoustic blankets work for vocals, should the same apply for instrumentation?
Hi there! The mic used for the trombone is the AT4080 Phantom-powered Bidirectional Ribbon Microphone. You can learn more here: bit.ly/2Mp4uS2 Thanks! - A-T USA
Audio-Technica USA nice thnx. I'm an composer with a budged. Would you recommend this mic ore another one if I want to record multiple (kinds of) instruments with it. Such as strings, brass percussion etc.
"For trombone we recommend our $1500 microphone"
Of course you do lmao

I was wondering if you are going to bring up the French horn, but I didn't think you actually would! Thank you for not forgetting about us.

0:33 Trumpet
1:25 Trombone

the "Who?phonium"
So glad he talked over the audio.
You lost me when you said the trombone isn't as dynamic as the trumpet
Not wrong. The trumpet has the greatest dynamic range of any brass instrument.
@@fontjs1415 Try the F Horn
Trombone definitely has more range and dynamics
I'm pretty sure the French horn has got some pretty nice range

I love this guy! He does drum videos too
Have you any tips on an Eb alto horn? You know, the smaller horn-type that faces upwards like the tuba? Thanks!

Audio Technica, it’s a poor look when random people in your comment sections provide more comprehensive answers to simple questions than you do.
@@macdrown3892 Thanks, I enjoy being a helpful internet stranger

No euphonium 😐
The euphonium is always forgotten 😞

Can the mic for trumpets work with iPhones?

How about ATR2500?
Hi there! Yes, it would apply as well to the ATR2500. - A-T USA
@@AudioTechnicaUSA thank you so much.... helps a lot....
Allen Fogle on the horn = awesome!

How ironic is it that this video is about good mic techniques, yet he has no mic on him and sounds far away....
