Greetings.
I record a good amount of solo horn players; saxophones and flutes mostly. I have a smaller studio where I run mic/monitor lines into the main room. That works pretty well. However, I've often wondered about tracking these parts in an iso booth located in the main room. I can't imagine it would work very well, but I have no real way to test my hypothesis, as I do not have an iso. Have any of my fellow RGO-ers ever tried this? If so, what were your findings?
TIA, -09

I'd definitely want an extremely dead iso since horns would overpower and show early reflections very easily.

I did some horns in a small room, maybe 7ftx8ft and definitely needed a lot of absorption in the room for reflections. Turned out good though.

To show where my brain is going in moments of leisure (few and far between right now), my immediate thought in reading this was: "Wait, what does Eric mean by Game of Thrones EQ??" |

Ya know, if it's a Ska band, horns in a booth are probably just fine. Better yet, put them ALL in the same booth, like Yer Blues.

Talk about vintage, it gets a little hot in dragon mode. |
