    Well, I'm a relatively experienced user of the saxophone but I had always played classical pieces. For a couple of years I have experimented with jazz and especially rock and funk, which are the genres that interest me the most. I'm currently playing with a Yanagisawa AWO10 and a Jody Jazz Jet 7...

    I recently bought a se electronics vr1 voodoo ribbon mic after hearing @Wallace get great sounding results from it. I sometimes get good results and sometimes not. What is the best way to record with it close mic’d with the gain lower or further away with higher gain. I’ve tried recording a...

    Hey friends, I have a solid microphone and interface setup to record myself playing, but I always struggle with getting good tone out of the recording. I find most of my open air sound has the power and oompf I like to hear, but whenever I hear it back on recording it sounds very mid heavy...

    Hello everyone, A shop near me is having a sale because they are closing permanently. I currently own a Shure SM57, but I haven't really used it because it's not very convenient. Is the Beyerdynamic TG I57 clip-on condenser worth 50 euros? And will it give a good sound? They also have the...

    Hello everyone, I have an AKG c747, but the factory clip and gooseneck just can't hold the mic well to my sax. I googled a lot, but cant find an answer. But I just saw this guy playing 747 with a non-factory clip. akg 747 vs akg 519 Does anyone know where to get this clip/mount? or if you...

    I’m using the TE tuner app when practicing (alto sax), and would like to try out using an external microphone. I have a home studio - 2 x 2 m. - and think that the built in iPad microphone does not work well with the relatively small space. Idea is to place an external microphone away from the...

    Hey everyone! The people at Fifine Technology sent me a microphone to review - a $30 usb condenser mic. I knew that it was good for podcasts and other talking purposes, but wanted to see how it would handle recording saxophone. Have a look and let me know what you think!

    Hi, I´ve tried the ATM350U clip on mic and also the Audix ADX20 i-p. The sound was great but I play a Keilwerth SX90R and the noise of the keys on the mic was kind of annoying. I think this is because of the rolled tone holes. Is there a clip on mic which isolates better and has a very good...

    I'm looking for a pouch that can hold my Sennheiser transmitter to the bell of my saxophone, so that I don't need to attach the pack to my person when picking the sax up and putting it back on its stand. Any suggestions?

    Hey all! Looking to purchase a microphone for home use (saxophone recording) with a budget of around $300. I did some recording at my buddy's place with a Carvin CTM100 tube condenser and LOVED the way it came out on both alto and tenor. I'll link a couple of those recordings below so you can...

    I know there is a newer post about best mics live but looking at a wireless system that is durable and affordable. Would like to stay under $500 but trying to get a realistic idea on the best bang for the buck. Thanks!

    Hello! I have a Super Balanced Action Tenor sax and I’m looking for recommendations for a nice home recording mic. I recently bought myself a Focusrite Scarlett Studio bundle (2nd gen) and I’m happy with it but the mic that came with it doesn’t seem ideal for sax recording. However I’m only...
