I really appreciate this video tutorial. Most "sound engineers" ignore mixing instrumentals and individual instruments and only talk about drums, bass, guitar and piano. It really frustrates me because I need to learn about all instruments. Too many also think Hip Hop is the only thing to talk about. How clueless. Great job here. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
This improved my time mixing a recorded sax, thank you for sharing this!
Great! Thanks!
This is the best tutorial I've found about mixing a saxophone.
Thanks David! That means a lot!
What a fantastic tutorial. I’ve watched a lot of videos on this and similar subjects, and you just have a pleasant way of delivering things right to the point with no wasted words. Keep up the good work.
Wow thank you! What kind words friend :-). That really means a lot. When I am making these videos I am always wondering if I am doing an ok job. lol
I’ve been looking for a video like this for MONTHS. Thank you!
No problem bud! Glad I could help.
I'm going to use these techniques! Thank you!
No problem!
Man, You Nailed this !!
Thanks for Shaing!
Thanks bud!
Really helpful, Thank you very much.
No problem!
Very helpful!! I’m new to doing my own recordings (Studio One) and I couldn’t figure out why I was having a hard time getting a better sound on my tenor sax vs my soprano or alto-I kept getting that “muddy” sound and it makes so much sense now...too much low end smh. Thanks so much.
Glad I could help you out!
Hi EShort Sax, I am trying to get a recording of my Tenor! It's sounding so thin, I will makesure that I am not rolling of the low end on the mic! My set up is an AKG Mic, an Yamaha AG06 interface and I am using studio one. I am curious to find out how you are set up in studio one!
@@itapsgavzz4980 The DAW should not matter. I use logic pro x myself but a DAW is a DAW. You may want experiment with some different microphones. Or try a bell boost around 200Hz to see if you can thinken this up.
@@itapsgavzz4980 I use an EMC87 mic (virtual mic clone) for my tenor (I also have the personus m7 which came with my bundle and I have a Shure Sm57 I double with as well primarily for room noise). That gave the best sound for me-(side note I recently got the Shure KSM32 and it didn’t sound as good on my tenor as it does with my alto...that’s going to be my primary alto microphone). I use the presonus audiobox itwo which came with my studio one bundle as well. When it’s all said and done the audiobox iTwo and the ECM-87 virtual mic clone (I tend to use the C12 clone), plus removing the low end (thanks @The Home Recording Network lol) gives me the results I like.
It really helped! ❤
Nice!
Fantastic !! It will be great if you can share the reverb & delay settings too?
Check out the other videos in the playlist! I have one on adding effects. Thanks!
My recording is sounding so thin, what can I do? Trying to get my first recording done by tomorrow!
I really needed this today. Glad I found it. Sounds like you have sax panned to center? Is that typical for this instrument? Thanks!
Thanks for the encouraging words! Glad you liked the video. 😀 usually if it is a solo I will have it right up the middle. But try some different things out!
Hi Josh, I am trying to get a recording of my Tenor! It's sounding so thin, I will makesure that I am not rolling of the low end on the mic! My set up is an AKG Mic, an Yamaha AG06 interface and I am using studio one. I am curious to find out how you are set up in studio one!
Are putting the effects directly on the Sax Channel?
My setup is an akg c414 into an apollo 8P. Keep at it brother!
Hi Josh, I seem to have a lot of breath coming true my recordings, I've tried numerous different mic positions but I always seem to get a lot of air coming true the mic. Any advice?
Shoot me an email bud and we can talk. Joel@homerecordingnetwork.com
In my experience you can have two breath problems when recording saxophone. Since I don't know what problem you have I'll give you my experience with both. Hopefully it helps.
1) If you have breath noise while playing there's a good chance that the saxophonist has air leaking between his/her lips and the mouth piece. This is typical when the saxophonist has been playing for a while and is getting tired. You can't really fix this with the mic position or mix. The only fix I have found to work is getting the saxophonist to better his/her mouth technique.
2) The other problem is the noise of breathing in between notes. I treath this the same way as breathing during vocals: I either manualy edit it out or remove it automaticly with a plugin like Waves DeBreath.
Really impressive. I loved. Could you put the names of the plugins? Thank you!
Check out the slate all access pass! Also the fab filter eq was used in this.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork Is that in the program or a lug in and where do you download plugs in from
Hi there! I'm a saxophonist and I want to start recording better sounding covers. Is a sound card necessary and if yes, which do you recommend. I usually play with a keyboardist and sometimes have a guitarist or violinist accompanying me. Also, can my clip on mic work or is a condenser mic better? Looking forward to your response
Hey there! I’m not sure what you mean by sound card? I have never recorded with a clip on mic so unfortunately I don’t have an answer for you. If you are a beginner it is probably best to keep trying with what you have. But if you want to make an investment in a good microphone the AKG 414’s are great for recording a lot of instruments!
@@HomeRecordingNetwork a sound card is an audio interface, Behringer makes them, so does roland. Is that better than a mixer? Any pros and cons ?
Ahhh yes. An audio interface is most definitely needed. If you are on a budget, focusrite makes affordable interfaces that work very well. If you have some money to spend, I would look at universal audio Apollo twin. I have the 8 which gives me more preamps but if you are just recording one or two things at a time, the twin is very nice.
Make sure and shoot me an email if you have anymore questions! Joel@homerecordingnetwork.com
Hi. Good evening. Please when I record myself, the sound of my pads reflect in the recording. I took my sax for servicing already but my sax technician said the pads were ok. And I play really fast so how do I eliminate this pad sound
Maybe try out some different mics as well as different mic placements.
Great video man! Out of curiosity, what mic did you record the sax on?
Thanks buddy. I used akg 414.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork with a special preamp ? Do you use the dB reduction on the mike ?
@@o.m.a the preamp doesn’t really matter. I have a uad Apollo 8p but you can get by with what you have. I do use the -6db pad when I record with the 414 mic.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork Thx for your quick answer !!!
@@o.m.a absolutely!
How do you access these plug ins? I've dowloaded them but can't seem to open them like you do, HELP! LoL
Hey bud, I would contact the plug-in providers if you are having trouble. I can’t really help with software issues lol.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork When you open the new plug ins, how ? Yours just pop up from the left side out of nowhere and I'm just trying to figure out how?
@@sax_sensei are you using logic? You should just be able to insert them into your plug-in chain.
Can you tell me sir.... Do I need soundcard for headphones for good mix?
Can you explain a little more?
@@HomeRecordingNetwork if I connect my headphones directly to cpu and do the mixing... And if I use soundcard.... Will it make any difference???
Shouldn’t make a difference!
Question: Is the reverb and delay receiving the unprocessed sax? Or do you send the compressed and EQ'd sax to the Reverb/Delay?
Great question! The processed sax is being sent to all the effects.
hi .. is it possible to find presets for tenor sax?
Luca I believe this saxophone was a tenor so you can use this video as a guide!
@@HomeRecordingNetwork thank you so much ;-)
No problem!
Great tutorial! Thanks! Can you share the ProQ preset? It's not so difficult to replicate, but I'm so lazy... :-D
I will get working on that! Thanks!
Bro is the sax stock or you get from a website?
The sax was played by my good friend Warren Keller!
@@HomeRecordingNetwork Oh man.. I thought that was plug ins in Logic 🤦🏾♂️😂 sounds cool bro
@@HomeRecordingNetwork do you know what website I can get some good sax plug ins in Logic ?
Not really bud. I mainly work with live instruments.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork Oh man! It’s okay i’ll look it myself.
sax tuning....
Indeed! thanks for listening.
