    Good video 👍. I have a Zoom H2n which is very handy for quickly capturing ideas or evaluating my playing. My recording preference for my alto is a ribbon mic positioned at the level of my left hand pointed at the middle of the instrument.

    Chedk out the Yamaha AG06. It's an integrated USB mixer / interface with a loopback facility. Awesome for recording and livestreaming. It also comes with a free version of Cubase.
    Also check out the Beyerdynamic M160 microphone. It's hypercardioid, so rejects room reflections and ambient noise. It's a ribbon mic, which has a low gain - but - the saxophone is loud and you don't need so much gain. Not to mention it sounds beautiful.

    Recordings I can do with the setup you described, but I would like to be able to link video too for UA-cam. This I have never worked out.

    I’d love to do more recording but it all seems so complicated. Any tips for recording using the isolo microphone?

    • @jordel0577
      @jordel0577 Рік тому +1

      I'd connect the isolo mic to an interface, then would start with at least garage band. Should be the easiest way and will significantly improve your recording. mainly compared to make a record by using 'raw' audio from a video.

    Can you play a backing track through the audio interface, so as your playing, you can hear the backing track? If so, is this easy to do or do you have to add the track to the software post recording. Thanks

      Most Audio Interfaces have a monitoring input directly to the box. So long as you have the backing track queued up in your DAW you should be able to hear it through your monitors without any issues!

    At 2:09 the caption should read SM58.

    You know this video was recorded well when you can hear the difference in tone with the mic positions.
