Many thanks for all your replys. I did the session last night and it went great ... we did 9 tracks in just over three hours.

The players set up in a straight line (sitting), trombones on the left. I ended up buying another U87 to match an existing one we already had and we split the two 87s between the bones. We used the Royer 122s between the three trumpets. All were plugged directly into the API 3124 and then into the console channel insert return for routing to Pro Tools. Christ, those 87s are loud! We had to pad the mics and also the API even though the mics were a couple of feet away from the bones.

I used the Soundfield for the room and some plate on the lot and it was the business. Needless to say, the musicians were great, as was the conductor / arranger.

Now for the strings tomorrow.

Thanks again,

DW
