Trying to do one project a week, I had to wait last week for the mic I ordered to arrive, the one I was using was probably dropped one too many times! The new mic (a Sterling 170 active ribbon mic) arrived on Saturday, I took it out, hooked it up and recorded Something this morning. The tune isn’t polished but I really like how the mic responded (no breakups or drop outs). I just kept the EQ flat in Logic Pro, attenuated the lows/highs, added some hall reverb (like 8%) and a little quarter note echo (5%) like I normally do and dang if I didn’t get a decent sound without a lot off fiddling with EQ’s and such. I notice my altissimo is getting a little “loose”, need to practice more in that upper range.

my set up is a 1974 Selmver Mark VI, a Westcoast Sax MoFo .115 mouthpiece and a select jazz 3S reed. Let me know what you think, be brutally honest I really want to focus on improving my sound, if something in my playing/tone could be improved I’d really like some feedback and thoughts for improvement! Thanks!
