HI johnny
My mic is about 4 feet from me and about 6 feet from the floor. I’m sitting as I play. So the mic is about 4 and half feet above the bell. I’m using the King mpc. Recorded sound is a lot better. I still needs a bit of improvement. Just s bit, The room walls are hard adobe plaster. The celling is wood pine and the floor is concrete so…[Read more]

HiJohnny
I moved the mic back about 3 ft. and higher. Sound a lot better. I’ll experiment with the distance and gain etc. What you advised me to do will work out fine. Thank you

Putting the mic 3-4 feet from sounds good. I’ll do that next time I have the horn out like tomorrow. Today I was blowing a lot of Sam Cooke and Hungry Eyes from Dirty Dancing. Thanks Johnny

Sound is improving. I moved the mike near the holes and above the bell, Maybe 2/3 up the bore. And I adjusted the gain on the preamp. and the trim. Added the Silk. Still working on it. and tomorrow the High Pass filter. So little by little I’ll lose the bucket sound.

Thanks Johnny
First I’ll move the mike around like above the bell up along the sax sound holes. Work with the gain on the preamp. I’ll keep using GarageBand track for feed back

I’m working on my sound. My recordings sound like I’m in a bucket.

Great playing

Mike Potter,
You are my inspiration. Every song you play is a gem so today I’ll be blowing RUN AWAY. ON THE SOLO part I think I’ll use the E flat pentatonic. My mouthpiece is a theo Wanne 7* slant sig 2. Reed is a medium carbon onyx. Not to mention I’m tone deaf soooo
let the music begin

I’m working on “Just The Way You are”. Been working on it for two weeks I notice that when I play the low B followed by the G# I play the low B and the just lift my right hand fingers and the G# plays. Tricks of the trade. I also noticed that by moving my ligature to the back of the reed and tighten only the rear part of the leg the low B and low…[Read more]

Good post Saxomonica. So today I have two songs to practice: “To Love Somebody” and “Just The Way You Are”

Great blowing Jake, Bravo Performance.

I like Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” too. Maybe johnny might list “Brown Eyed Girl” some day.
