This is a clip from a live show last week. It was the group's debut for some new sounds we are working on. I wanted to see what you guys thought.

Thanks!

 

[Michael Ward]

Really nice piece and great playing.

 

[mrsaxpunk]

Love it, fantastic.

 

[Wade Cornell]

Wow, that's different. Not exactly rock but more like demented 1930s music. Especially like the tuba presence. Would love to hear this recorded a little better. All the low dynamics are very clipped.

More please.

 

[ATeamMusic]

Sounds great. What did you use to record the show? And whats your sax setup?

 

[Mike1955]

Hey man, keep putting out these new sounds. They sound great!

demented 1930s music.

I like this.

Person X: "So, what style of music do you play?"
Ben: "Demented 30's music, why?" :lol:

Because its so busy you can't hear the heavy rock part.

LOL, now there's an interesting point of view. Wade, what exactly do you mean when you say the low dynamics are clipped. I want to do a live recording at this venue, so any info you can give me would help.

@ ATeamMusic - I recorded the show using all the on stage mics into a laptop The sound guy did it for me. My setup is a silver Super Balanced Action, Florida era Super Tone Master, and Unfiled Rico Jazz Select.

@Saxphil, is that conversation commentary or musical feedback?

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Either way is fine! I am in refinement phase, so musical feedback is good (just none of those it doesn't work so throw it out completely comments, please!).

Very nice

Hi Ben,

Not sure if it's just my crap computer speakers, but this sounds like too much of the spectrum is taken up with mid and highs. Can you look at this mix as a histogram? I hear very little in the bottom range. Makes the sax and tuba sound tinny. Maybe others with better set-ups or real monitors can check this for you?

 

[Multi Reed]

Cool. Dig it.

 

[saxpiece]

I thought it was good and different.

I think the heavy rock part needs to be integrated in a better way and a guitar solo would be good as well and I think the novelty parts were good.

Just a few suggestions.

 

[BenBrittonJazz]

Wade, I agree that the mix is top heavy. I thought you were joking about the tuba! It's electric bass. Anyways, yeah the guy who mixed this live recording did it very quickly. Not enough drums and definitely top heavy.
