I haven't been on this forum for quite a long time. Possibly more than ten years!
I was shocked reading some of the very interesting discussions that they were dated far back as 2003!
Anyway my question is, to the experts on here, how much influence did studio acoustics and microphone placement have on Herb's trumpet sound? My favorite of the studios was Gold Star on Santa Monica. Larry Levine was a brilliant mixer and the sound that he created for Herb's early albums was marvelous. Great presence and separation. Plus the sound was not fatiguing, very mellow, unlike many of today's recordings.
