    Hello, I’ve been studying Glazunov’s concerto for a while. And I would like to know where I could find any recording of Rascher playing it. Or even if it exists.:cry:
  2. Electronic Equipment
    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...

    I recorded this in my new whisperroom and understand there are limitations inherent to the space, but nonetheless was curious how folks would go about getting the most out of this track. I'm a novice at mixing and am working in garageband. The low and mid range have a covered sound to my ears...

    hi, pros, I am only an amateur, I know this question is not specific enough, so let me give a little bit more context here. I am trying to record with my soprano sax in my sleeping room. It is only a tiny one, perhaps a little more than 100 square feet. I am using a DAW in my Mac, and a DPA...

    Hi- recently, I have made a track (sextet recording) and recorded it with an.... android? Let's just say, it turned out cringy (audio problem). I have been wanting to buy a professional recording device for ages now (6 months); open to all recommendations.

    I'm using an AOKEO AK-60 USB condenser mic to record saxophone parts at home. Any tips on where/how to position mic when recording, as well as the best EQ settings to get a good sound from my alto? I tried recording the sound without modifying any of the mic settings in my DAW and the sound was...

    I've been using Audacity and a small Mackie mixer to lay down some ska-type instrumental tracks (bass guitar, guitar, piano, saxes) for lockdown amusement; they're then going on to my son, who'll lay down the drum parts and add a few vocals. I found working rigidly with a click track while...
  9. SOTW Member Compositions & Arrangements
    Trying to get the hang of the video editing software. This song started life as a jazz tune, but without drums and bass it kinda just sounds like a "contemporary composition," so to speak. Extended usage of one motif and the major scale throughout. Check it out and see if you dig!
  10. Working Sax Pros
    A couple days ago I started responding to a post about home recording here on SOTW and realized that my response was getting long... VERY long. Also, it occurred to me that I've been giving similar advice to many of my friends who are brilliant musicians but know next to nothing about recording...

    Hi all I am a "weekend warrior" sax player, and my day job for the last 30+ years has been designing audio electronics and writing audio algorithms. Since I'm approaching my retirement years, I undertook a project that combines my hobby and my expertise. The problem I am trying to solve is to...
  12. Misc. Saxophone Discussion
    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...

    Greetings, SOTW music producers! This is a question to our lovely community's studio engineers, home studio producers, and all-around gear nuts. It's far from the first time this question has been asked, and it will certainly not be the last. But I'm curious what your very favorite microphone...

    I'm trying to decide if I want to keep this P. Mauriat 66R. What's your opinion of horn "A" (Mark VI) vs horn "B" (66R)? What differences do you hear? https://streamable.com/lo8af

    I have received a copyright strike on my alto saxophone cover on "Watermelon Man" by Herbie Hancock! I have used a public domain backing track (Jamey Aebersold Publications) and a public domain vector (an obligatory attribution of vector maker though). I cannot figure out, what should i do...

    I call this the sax vlog because there is lots of sax in it: in the studio song writing, saxophone recording, saxophone dueting... and my Sonny Rollins story: . Cheers!

    Hello clarinet peeps, I am a composer working on an EP. I only need one song recorded, then I am done. Everybody keeps promising to do it then disappears, it's frustrating. I have a solo piece for Clarinet in B flat that needs to be recorded. I have the sheet music and a digital mp3 of it. It's...
  18. Tips and Techniques
    I found this app that records your playing and places the tune on a spectrum that allows you to evaluate your tuning over the whole recording. It is an Android app called "Vocal Pitch Monitor". I have worked with a tuner but when I check my tuning note by note I tend to play to the tuner needle...

    I want a good multipurpose microphone, that is great for recording vocals, and commentary, as wells as saxophone recording (tenor sax) I am currently looking at shure sm58 and sm57 because I wanted a dynamic microphone because it doesn't pickup background sound very well. My price range is...

    I'm putting together a small home recording room, so I can get into recording. I have an iMac and I'm looking for an interface (and mic as well) that will provide excellent results.
