Honestly the results don't seem to differ much. I've been playing on a AKG sax Mike for 20 years and still works great. You're thoughts and experience are very helpful
What perfect timing of your video! As a conservatoire student stuck at home I have been struggling to make good quality recordings to send to my teachers.
Hey Jay, I just wanted to say thank you for the emails with all of the helpful hints/tips/materials, I really appreciate it. I wasn't sure if I can respond to those emails so I wanted to say thank you here. Also love the videos, especially ones covering the baritone sax since that's my favorite horn
I like how you say, if it all sound the same to you then just use your onboard mic. The thing is that if we are listening to this through our phone or computer speakers, chances are they do sound quite the same. Excellent sound needs excellent speakers to show the difference. I have the Apogee 1st generation and love it. I also use it plugged directly into my MacBook.
I just tried using my H1 and results turned out great! Sound is so much better than than with any built-in mic I've tried and manual level setting does wonders!
Interesting that what you say you like about the expensive Mic is exactly what I was hearing out of the cheap one! I thought the less expensive Shure was the best sound by far. But that's why there's Fords and Chevys. Or maybe my ears are just old - like the rest of me.
Jay, I gave up on online lessons and recording myself to critically listen due to recording issues. I haven't considered taking online lessons since. The recordings didn't sound like me tonally and the sax easily overwhelmed the input. I was using a highly rated microphone (Rode-NTUSB) that plugged right into my computer's USB jack. I spent a fair amount of time on the selection. There wasn't much adjustment that could be made and it didn't matter how far from the mic I stood. I could overwhelm it from another room, lol. It was suggested I needed to use an interface program like Audacity but i was spending more time trying to figure it all out than practicing. That's my experience.
Jay, this lesson on recording and microphones was really helpful. Thanks so much for sharing. Could you post another video describing the sound editing software you use. I use Audacity, which I think is very good (and it's free). But I use only the most basic features. Thanks again. Eric
Jay, you are right on about mic placement - this is great advice! I've seen so many RUclips videos that say bad things about placing the mic directly in front of the bell. For tenor and alto I feel that I get a better sound, no question, with the mic 6 or 8 inches in front of the bell. Soprano placement is a little different, I play off axis to the mic to warm the sound up a bit. Great video.
Hi Jay, just wondering if you can get green light on apogee just using recording the video on your iPhone? My apogee keeps on blue light. Thanks for the tips!
I just subscribed thank you! I also would like to know- I have an Audio Interface but would like to know if there would be serious disadvantages to just using a USB mic with my track software (DAW) without the audio interface. Is latency that bad without it? I dont have a USB mic yet or I would try it myself. Thanks for all you do!
The RODE XY for Apple phones and tablets is terrific. Approx 150$. If you buy an inexpensive Lightning extension cable (10-15$) you can place it on a beam like the Apogee+. Feels a lot more high-tech and cleverly designed than the Shure counterpart.
I've been looking at reviews of large diaphragm XLR condensers and computer interfaces, for sax, vocals, and voice over work, for many months. I can't to settle on a pairing. I don't want to buy a bunch and try them--gotta get it right in one shot.
Great content - thanks! I'd love to know how the industry standard Shure SM57 compares as well as some of the clip-on options form Shure and even other higher end vendors.
Great Video Jay! I think it would be cool if you did a review on some of the cheap amazon micorphones. Some of them sell for as low as $30-40 and have mixed reviews.
Apogee also makes a free Recorder Called the MetaRecorder.... it is an excellent free download from those Talented Apogee Folks here in Santa Monica. And it has a Vu Meter built in and has a system for multiple takes... and exports easily. I use if all the time for Memorizing Lines... I do a lot of film. I've also got the Apogee One... and have had excellent luck with that little portable mic. Keep up the good videos.... love your playing too. Back in the day ...early 70's I toured with the Ike and Tina Turner Review.... played Tenor Sax on their Asian Tour. Ike hired me after playing only 8 notes of Soul Serenade.... ha... he just held his hand up... walked out of the room and didn't say a thing. I didn't know until the next day that I'd been hired. I was kind of depressed because I really wanted that gig. I was moping around up at UCLA where I was working on my Masters in Theater... didn't have cell phones or an answering machine... so my girlfriend said why not call and see what happened... maybe you misunderstood him walking out. I went to a payphone and called Rhonda Graham... their road manager and she yelled at me ... "where the hell you been? I've been trying to call you all morning... there's a ticket for you at LAX... get to San Francisco by 2.... for Horn Section Rehearsal... sound check at 7 PM... and we kick off at Basin Street West at 9 PM.... I did so and the next 2 or 3 months had the time of my life.... Best Always, Joseph Miller www.imdb.com/name/nm9202697/
thank you for this videos i was thinking of making a video of a song i want to do but thinking that it wasn't going to be as good without a mic. thank you i really appreciate it very much. 😄
At 3.02, would love to know the how the audio output provides the sound ie: is the mic connected to a speaker and you just film this on a phone for example? Love your channel
Thanks for great content and inspiration! I would just like to share what I found to be a great solution for studio recording of my sax (not really the theme for this video but anyhow). I usually use a combination of tho microphones, one condensed mic and one band mic. Be sure what type of condensed mic you use since some that are made for singing specifically has a tendency to sound quite thin if you don't get close enough. But that together with the band mic gives you a really nice opportunity to experiment with mixing the sound of the two mics. Want more pop sound? Increase input from the condensed mic. Want more vintage sound? Increase input from the band mic. No matter what I found the combination to give a very rich sound.
Hey, that's a great and informative video! Idk why, but I can't get along with the sound me breathing while playing. I wanna record clearly the sound sax makes, but idk how to get to there. I have a Fifine mic, which is a splendid one I've found out.
Thanks Jay! Very usefull as always. All of these mics are conected directly into computer, right? I have one mic with only XLR input, therefore, if I want to record to my mac it seems like I need to acquire another product witch I'm not really sure what it is... I found very few things about it on the web, so I'd love to see a video about that on your channel. Thanks again for the video, your classes are the best.
Jay, I was wondering what your thoughts are regarding recording the sax with a backing track. I copy the backing track to my phone and listen to it with earphones when I record. I use a zoom H4n to record the sax while I listen to the backing track. I then use Audacity to combine the backing track with the sax recording. One nice thing about this is that I can enhance the sax part (EQ, reverb, etc) before combining the two. I don't know if there are other ways to do this and was wondering what your thoughts are or your process if you do this kind of recording.
To do this you need a DAW like Audacity or others. Best is to have the backing track in the DAW already and record to a second track while listening to the backing track in headphones. I'll make a video about the process since everyone is asking.
@@bettersax I would also like to learn this - I have iMovie for Mac but this software can't play a backing track and record at the same time (as you can with Garageband).
Hey Jay there's a new Shure MV88+ Video Kit which has the same internals as the MV88 but with cables and all the bells and whistles and iOS/Android compatible and you don't need to pull off your phone case
Another reason the Apogee mic outperforms is that it has a really excellent mic pre-amp AND DAC built in. My guess are the other usb mics don't. So with the Apogee you are also hearing better electronics.
How would you go to the next step which in my opinion would be to add video of you playing to a recorded soundtrack. I believe you did that last summer when you had to learn charts to perform with a band at North Sea.
do you mind sharing the next step? which is mixing the sound for sax / winds instruments ? Still trying to figure out how to let the sound better on after recording
Great video Jay! Exactly what I was hoping for .... a week ago. I now wish I wouldn't have ordered a $600 ribbon mic out of sheer ignorance to begin my recording adventure. You say they are difficult to use?
Hi Jay, thx for this tuto. Regarding the picture quality, do you use only your iPhone to film or do you have another device you would recommand ? Thx again for your great videos !
Thank you so much for this video. I learn a lot from you 🙏 Is it possible to change a dry acoustic room into a wet room without removing the sponge from the walls? TNX..
It looks like you're sniffing something. Or knew something about me. Just yesterday me (my son) caused a problem. He should record his sax playing with a minus (not sure of this word, meaning accompanying) to send it to his teacher. And I was near to be terrified. I'm not a sound producer or something like that. And today I open RUclips and... Your video!!! Thank you so much!
Do you record anything with backing tracks? Do you ever make your own back tracks? If so, could you share or do a video detailing how to do this? Thanks
Hey Jay! As a disclaimer, I play trombone but love your videos! After much research, I settled on the Shure mv51...have you heard of this one? I believe it’s very comparable to your Apogee mic. It has the mic stand capabilities, gain adjustment, and has different modes. I was wondering if you wanted to check that out and let me know what you think of it. Also, in regards to recording with iOS in any regard, have you checked out the Shure Motive apps for specific recording? If not what do you use and how do they compare? Thank you for such great content!
Thanks for the information:) Maybe you or someone here can help me out: I was suggested to get a DI Box for recording my sax and I like the sound it gives (don’t hear as much breath, just notes); however, my low notes are extremely quiet. Anything I can do to help it have an even tone? I’m used to controlling my breathing for for tone but no matter how ‘loud’ I’m playing, it’s still recorded very softly. I was looking in my DAW to see if I can change frequencies or something but having no luck. Any suggestions?
Jay, just thought id mention the k669b microphone. Dave Pollack reviewed it for sax recording and it seemed quite good. I recently picked one up for £20 and it's great! Thought it might be good for a versus video!
Jay, Are you ever going to do a video demo on the iRig Pre? I'm sure you are familiar with it. A studio mic can plug into it and be used to record on iPhone, smartphone, Ipad etc ...
Does anyone know where I can get a boom arm extension like the one used here for the phone mount (7:21)? I can't find the one in the link; it may be discontinued. Thanks!
Thanks for the insightful video. Would anyone recommend an amplifier? I purchased one that’s for acoustic guitar, at first I liked it but I’m not feeling it any more.
I find ribbon mics are great on sax. I have a Joly conversion Nady with a germaine fet booster so I can use 48v so you can get a smooth sound much less harsh and grainy sounding. Sax is difficult to record in the digital relm. But mainly it's the guy who can get that sound When I get a great player here it's fantastic but I stink as a player ha ha
@@iqi616 I'll check out that mic also. check out this boaster It bossts the signal lower bass noise and it smooths out the sound of the ribbon further, and also you dont have to worry about blowing your ribbon when using 48V If this is plugged into the back of your mic, Here's the link ,ruclips.net/video/xjD8dui6jwE/видео.html
I get alot of clicks from the keys. how do i reduce these? is it only technique or mic placements? have a lewit LCT 040 at the bell and a SP someting large diaframe mic as room mic.
Thank you for the video. I was listening to your recording with my expensive Bose headphones and my ears that usually works fine. I couldn’t hear any differences. May be you should have used the baritone as the simple mics usually are no good in the lower area.
Man, hearing the same mic in two different rooms was VERY illuminating. Great info, Jay. Hope you and your family are staying safe and happy!
Danke!
Thank you!
I recommend to Better Sax to all my sax students. Watch and learn. Thanks man.
Thanks 🙏 for being so generous with sharing your experiences, equipment, and know how!!! Every Sax player should be subscribed to your channel! 😀🚀
Honestly the results don't seem to differ much. I've been playing on a AKG sax Mike for 20 years and still works great. You're thoughts and experience are very helpful
The Shure MV5 looks like something out of the front door of Jabba the Hutt's palace! Another informative video, Jay. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. I was lost as to what mic to get before. Based on this I finally bought a mic and I love it so far.
The apogee might be the way for me, I think, but I also play the flute, and violin/ viola. Thanks for your tutorial. Dan
You are such a great inspiration towards me, and playing my sax. You are also a great player!
Everytime you play, you make me want to catch up and become better😪❤️ really inspiring
What perfect timing of your video! As a conservatoire student stuck at home I have been struggling to make good quality recordings to send to my teachers.

Take a look at the Shure MV51, it's a large diaphragm condenser that will get the warmth that you're looking for and also runs $199.
Had Shure MV88 , but sold it cause my Huawei recorded better haha. Btw I see you're having fun with that slider :D
Thank you so much!
Thanks this helps !
Glad it helped!
yesss you gotta record that sax, that's some good sax, I'm gonna watch this sax tonight.

not difficult, just more complex setup than a mic that plugs into your phone. Usually not a beginner setup a ribbon mic, but you'll figure it out.

Is it possible to change a dry acoustic room into a wet room without removing the sponge from the walls?

TRANSCRIBED FROM BRUCE WILLIAMS LESSON. I would like a hat now :)
Does the Apogee Mic+ also work well for recording baritone saxophone?
Informative. What is the setup when you want to record over a backing track so BOTH sound great?
another great video and off topic question. What neck strap are you using in this video? It looks like more of a yoke than a neck strap
that is the Just Joe's Gel Strap
It looks like you're sniffing something. Or knew something about me. Just yesterday me (my son) caused a problem.

Merci pour ces informations !
Comment tu fais pour qu'on entende pas les clés du saxophone ???
It would be interested to see the sound spectrum (Frequency vs Time)
I'm pretty sure you transcribed giant steps
Do you record anything with backing tracks? Do you ever make your own back tracks? If so, could you share or do a video detailing how to do this? Thanks
okay, I will do this soon.
How do you not pick up any breaths or pressing the keys?
Did u ever heard about fifine k669b sir?? What do you think about that usb microphone?? Is it good for record saxophone??
never tried it
Do you have air conditioner ? How you manage the noise?
If your mic is close to the source audio, you won't get as much background/room noise.
GREAT SITE! GREAT INFO! CONGRATULATIONS! JK

I wonder how the apogee would sound whilst playing with background music when recording with your Phone ? Grtz
Thanks for the insightful video. Would anyone recommend an amplifier? I purchased one that’s for acoustic guitar, at first I liked it but I’m not feeling it any more.
Which showed the same sound if I don't play it without a microphone?
On my phone
Love the first tip: just be good
Great, thank You, that´s very useful!
Another question, what would You suggest as an easy solution to make a video recording over a play along?
What do you Think of shure sm57
I find ribbon mics are great on sax. I have a Joly conversion Nady with a germaine fet booster so I can use 48v so you can get a smooth sound much less harsh and grainy sounding.

Ribbon here too. Apex 205. Saves a bunch of time compared to EQing out the harshness of a condenser.
@@iqi616 I'll check out that mic also. check out this boaster It bossts the signal lower bass noise and it smooths out the sound of the ribbon further, and also you dont have to worry about blowing your ribbon when using 48V If this is plugged into the back of your mic, Here's the link ,ruclips.net/video/xjD8dui6jwE/видео.html
