      I made up a Blues Ballad and used Garage Band’s Loops. This is my first recording with my new MB11 mouthpiece. The video shows my room setup for practice and recording. I call this recording, “Blues In The Back Room”. https://youtu.be/Tlc3fOTzycg

              Re: the pop filter: When I put the horn about 36 inches from the mic the sound had no buzz. When I put the horn near the mic I got a nice buzz and also a bit of wind sound. So with the pop filter I got a nice all around horn buzz with some edge and NO wind noise like a vocalist might get when singing close to the mic.

                Thanks Johnny. I noticed that when recording into garage band with a backing track the horn sounds a bit weak and dull, but when I record into garage band with no backing track other than the Loops provided by Garage Band I get a better sound from the horn. I was in a relaxed mode. I’ll try more of those garage band loops and make up songs as I go.

                  On another note, that was the first recording using my ribbon mic, a Royer R-121 studio mic.

                    I think the sound is fuller and attribute it to the MBII perhaps.

                      Johnny, the MBll is fuller and projects better than my other mouthpieces, like the Theo Wannes and JodyJazz mouthpieces. The MBll is my number one mpc

                        William – thanks for the info about recording setup, i have very limited experience in recording, and am open minded to trying out what other people do.
