those were my D&R days .... no other pre's then the ones in the console.
We tried every possible mic setup the little recording room allowed. close / 'far' / high / low / .... using condesors (schoeps) and dynamics.
the best result was achieved with a 3 mic setup. 1 schoeps condensor placed a little higher then the top of the instrument at approx 7 ft. from the player. And two beyer dynamics M88 (?) for close miking ... one at the top of the bassoon, the second one in the middle, close to the mouthpiece.
mixed down in the D&R and recorded to 1 track (Adat), I only had 16 tracks back then.
