FreeEarCandy Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 The stereo spread on the sax creates a nice space. Reverb time is perfect and ducked nicely. Very clear and clean mix. Well done in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Love that sax sound. I love the phrasing and breathing you are using on it. That has always been difficult for me when I have tried a sax VST. Great sound -- I really enjoyed this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 What a great recording, very smooth and silky , shoulders down + mind up kinda' thing, most enjoyable ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Great work. Beautiful. Can I ask what microphones you used? I've only been doing this DAW thing for a little over a year but it really seems that there is no substitute for a really good microphone. I'd probably invest in a couple of great mic's than new instruments, guitars or amps as the difference I've heard is amazing ???? Edited March 15, 2023 by Larry T.

KSband Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 Thank a lot @Larry T.! I was using a Sterling Audio ribbon mic on my last couple recordings but I was having trouble getting a good sax sound on this so I went back to my Audiotechnica 4033, had it for years, it's a great sounding condenser mic. The nylon guitar is straight into the Focusrite , no mic, same for bass and electrics if I use them. The bass and any electric guitars go thru amp plugins, so much easier than trying to mic an amp (I have really nice amps collecting dust). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year ago I bought a low price Shure PGA58 cardioid dynamic and didn't really know how good or bad it was recording acoustic and electric guitars and harmonica. I decided to try an old Audiotechnica AT801 omni directional condenser mic I bought around 1975 and immediately heard a vast improvement in clarity and tones. And the AT801 was only around $100 ( I guess that would be about $500 today??). Once I heard the difference I realized how important it is to use the best mics I can get ????

KSband Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 That 58 should be great for electric guitar, I used to use a shure 57 on bass and guitar amps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
