Keep going with it. Intonation isn't a problem that trombonists solve and that's it. It continually comes back and even experienced players and professionals continue to have to work on it right throughout their playing careers. Learning the basic seven slide positions is only the starting point too, you'll find you'll need to micro adjust on the different harmonic partials when playing higher and lower, not to mention using the F valve (only six slide positions not seven....) It's a complete Pandora's box but stick with it, yeah use your tuner (only when your instruments warm) as a starting point, and use your ears in the bandroom as believe it or not other instruments also play certain notes slightly out of tune for which you'll need to compromise on.......

I’d think about doing practise with long notes and opening up your throat by dropping your jaw. Always infront of a tuner to know if you’re in tune. As you said your sound isn’t very thick I’d work on that to get your sound bigger and your intonation more consistent. Nothing better to practice than the arban. I’m no professional but saying things that have helped me

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Zoom H4e. I recently got one as well and have made some recordings, but having some challenges getting it into Logic Pro to boost audio and things like that - post production. I find that Zoom touts the ability to fix gain in post-production, but none of their videos seem to offer help in how to do that. I'm going to keep researching though because I think this device can be very useful.

I’m not quite secure as this is 29mm which is around 2mm larger than the 2AL. Im still developing my embouchure with it as I’m still a little raspy/splitting some of my higher notes but for the low-end stuff it’s great. Once I’m fully secure with it I’ll be fine.
