Use headphones to listen!!
I am an amateur cornet, flugelhorn and trumpet player. I used to play trumpet in various bands in Barking & Dagenham in UK but stopped playing when I was 18. In January 2020, I re-learnt to play the trumpet after 35 years!
It's been an interesting, frustrating and long journey from trumpet to flugelhorn to cornet. I've been on many mouthpiece safaris. I'm hoping the Cornet Denis Wick 2BW is my last in terms of cup diameter (17mm) and wide rim (5.50mm), medium cup with v shaped backbore. Recording came about accidentally when I realised recording trumpet on a smart phone is truly awful! And that led to my journey into audio and video recording. In April 2023, I started recording with two microphones (large diaphragm condenser and a dynamic) and bought FCPX. In July 2024, with the help of Oleh Skakun, I now know what I am doing with EQ!

Bella esecuzione ., mi puoi dire gentilmente la marca e modello del flicorno , e se pensi sia in buone flicorno grazie .
Its a Carol Brass Flugelhorn CFL-9990-RSS-Bb-L (bought in April 2022). I play with a Denis Wick mouthpiece. I recorded this video over a year ago. I have learnt a lot about EQ since then. I will upload a version with better audio later today.
@@GwenMcGill tankyou

@@walterandrews2029 Thanks for this. Yes I definitely need to play softer and keep the air stream consistent. Annoyingly, I play better when I’m not recording it !!
Good playing
@@SusejZurc-m3i Thank you 🎺🇬🇧

Thank you
Very good playing 😊
Thank you
Well, my friend Jools (who tells me he knows you) reminded me of you yesterday. !st time listening for a while and I'm a learner (sax) too but what I wanted to say, your tone has improved. You're sounding good!
Wow thank you, that’s very kind. Yes I know Jules - he helped me set up my first microphone. Good luck with your sax journey. Jules is also doing really well with his guitar. 🎺🇬🇧
Sounded great. What Mic did you use to record this Tune?
Check out my equipment in the description. I’ve had a very long journey trying to improve sound quality. I use 2 mics which gives it that stereo effect. But the biggest impact came from proper use of EQ, reverb and volume with backing tracks.
@@GwenMcGill Understandable, I have the RE320, Rode Shotgun Mic, Blue Yetti. I have not played the RE320 since I have gotten it. The Yetti and RODE sound good for what they are. I am just experimenting at the moment with different placements and EQ's and I have not been able to lock it. I am beginning to think its just me. LOL Happy journey, you do sound great.
Mr B’s Covers uses Blue Yeti. Top tips I’ve learnt: phantom power on for condenser mics, record, import & export at 48KHz, export sound files using LPCM format or WAV, UA-cam massively condensed audio so use bigger reverb - large room or small hall. Weirdly volume needs to be between 0 and -10. Always test audio quality on mobile phone speakers. Good luck
Nice video, Gwen!
Thank you!! 🎺🇬🇧
Agreed, much better audio.
Well played and great audio!
Thank you! I got help from Oleh Skakun on EQ, Reverb & volume so I finally know what I am doing with the sound quality !!!
@@GwenMcGill I need a friend like that!
