Hi,

I'm in the market for a condenser mic for recording vocals, acoustic /electric guitar and saxaphone. I'll be plugging it into either a MOTU traveller or 828Mk2 (which I'm still choosing between).

Do you guys/gals have a suggestion on what one i should get.. there are so many my brain is in meltdown.

I'm looking for good quality sax sounds in a softsynth. I current use Steinberg's Halion as my major softsynth sampler. Unfortunately, I can't find any good quality sax sounds formatted for Halion. In fact, good quality sax sounds seem to be hard to find for both softsynths and hardsynths.

Hi all

Yesterday I recorded someone playing the soprano saxophone.

He's a very engaged player (for over 50 years) using both every dynamic range available and using every corner of the recording space available.

I'd try Sure SM57, 58, RODE K2, NT1, NTK, AKG Solid Tube, AKG C3000...
But all of them aren't the right one for tracking Saxophone or Brass instument (It's not real when I listen) What is the Mic that I should go for it. Please help.
Thanks

Hi folks. I need to fatten up a sax track. I'm working in Digital Performer and using Waves Renaissance plugins.

Any suggestions how I can beef this up?
It's a blues number and I need some help on this one.
What are your suggestions on EQing the sax part to fattten it up?

I am recording a sax. I have a sm58 and a condensor mic. This is a home studio. No isolation. Any thoughts on best Micing technique for my situation?
Thanks in advance

Dear Friends,

I've used a few different mics for tracking Sax. I'm wondering if I missed the best one ?

I'm looking to capture that honking 50's/60's/Motown Bari Sax sound in an upcoming session. My instinct is to try a Royer R-121 near the bell, and have a Lawson L47 2-3 feet back to capture the sound of the whole horn.

Most of my experience with bari saxes has been in more of a jazz context. I'm open to suggestions!
