Such a great and informative video! Looking forward to the next one 😃

Christina Gammeltoft thanks for watching and glad you liked it!

[@lyleleland7838]

you probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf recently :)

[@kohencarlos1522]

@Lyle Leland definitely, been using Instaflixxer for since december myself =)

Hola Orlando! gracias por tan excelente comparaciones entre los micrófonos y emuladores. Tambien da ganas de escuchar todo el tema!!!. Creo que seria de gran ayuda mostrar las diferencias 0 cambios de las sonoridades de los micrófonos sin el acompañamiento ya que las diferencias son sutiles y muy difíciles de percibir y creo que el acompañamiento lo hace aun mas difícil de percibir no obstante es un fantástico video.

[@ElishaRecords]

Gracias! De hecho, este es mi video mas visto, estoy super agradecido porque lo hayas visto. Ya no estoy subiendo videos en español en este canal, solo en ingles. Todos mis videos ahora los subo en mi otro canal en español Orlan2. Voy a revisar este video de nuevo en el futuro y mostrar más al respecto.

Very informative. Thank you

Harps Prince thanks for watching!

[@anthonyduarte8260]

Any chance you could post a copy of the backing track...it's VERY cool!

[@ElishaRecords]

Anthony Duarte thank you so much! I truly appreciated. I definitely need to re-visit this project. I’ll keep you posted when I share the song, I was recording vocals to it with a friend but everything stopped due to Coronavirus.

[@ferccino]

A webo, esa percusión de bolero es del plugin Cuba. Excelente video, me ha ayudado mucho. Saludos!

[@ElishaRecords]

👍🏻 gracias lor ver el video

[@stack80]

I loved the video, great explanation! But I want to hear the rest of that track, can you send me a link to it or something? Sounds amazing!

[@ElishaRecords]

1stack1 So glad you liked it, I cannot share that yet because that's part of an artist future release, which they are going to record vocals to. But as soon as it's available I'll let you know.

[@stack80]

Elisha Record Studio Thats aweome, please do🙏🏽

[@stack80]

Elisha Record Studio What do you think about GarageBand compared to Cubase, if you have tried it or know anything about it?

[@ElishaRecords]

1stack1 I absolutely love Garage Band, and still use it on many projects. I think if you dive into it you can get very good results.

[@ElishaRecords]

1stack1 Compared to Cubase of course I must say I know Cubase better, but frankly, any DAW, including Garage Band can get you amazing quality if you know how to work with them.

[@jazztown5784]

Thank you for your kind guidance. I'm just starting recording my sax play. Please allow me to ask a very beginner's question. Please let me know how to combine your sax play with minus one play along music from CDs. Can you do it on Cubase?

[@ElishaRecords]

jazztown Your question is how do you record yourself playing alongside a record or music cd?

[@jazztown5784]

@@ElishaRecordsYes, I play sax with play along minus one cd but CD sound comes through headphone, recording only sax sound through microphone.

[@elishamedia]

jazztown if you can have a copy of that cd and convert it to a wav aiff or mp3 file and import it to Cubase you can definitely record yourself, or you can just record yourself along and put the 2 things together, but that’s harder to do

[@ElishaRecords]

jazztown the comment above it’s me, I forgot to switch to my studio account.

[@jazztown5784]

@@elishamediaThank you very much for your kind reply. I will try to use Cubase.

Hi, I record my alto sax on audacity with a akg mic. It always sound muffled or a bit far away like I'm playing in the bathroom. How do I get a better sound?I havnt downloaded any plugins or anything. You can see the sound on one of my saxophone videos in my channel

[@ElishaRecords]

I loved your cover of Believer. It sounds clean enough, but yes, a little bit far away. It could be anything from room treatment to your audio interface or gain staging. But also could be just a matter of mixing. Maybe some further EQ cleaning, compression, and some analog distortion could give it more to life. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. You rock!

[@maxwonderchords4798]

Hello, please do one on mixing the sax and whole beat.

[@ElishaRecords]

Hi Max, thanks for the comment! I’ll keep it in mind!

[@eshortsax]

Thanks for the information:) Maybe someone 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?

[@ElishaRecords]

Hi, thanks a lot for watching the video. I truly appreciate it. As with regards to your recordings I must suggest to play with the mic position. If you’re using a condenser mic you need to check what’s the frequency response of that specific mic and what the DI is doing to the sound. Use the proximity effect on your mic for getting more information on the low end, meaning the closer you get to the mic the more bass you’re going to get. Again, there are many moving pieces there, but try and check. Make sure there’s no filtering going on. Maybe along the chain before recording you are getting a cut on the low end. Hope this works. And let me know if you have more questions.

Una pregunta porque poner dos micrófonos para grabar? Y como los estás usando?

[@ElishaRecords]

Hola, si, solo fue para hacer la comparacion de los 2 microfonos. No es necesario grabar con 2 microfonos. De hecho, con el ML-1 tengo emulaciones virtuales que puedo cambiar en post como lo muestro en el video. La unica razon para poner multiples microfonos es para capturar la fuente de sonido con varios mics y asi poder escoger al final cual es la que mejor representa el sonido que quieres lograr y cual complementa mejor la musica.

[@yaselsax8943]

@@ElishaRecords muchas gracias por responder, podrías hacer un vídeo editando Sax de cero todos los pasos por favor?

[@yaselsax8943]

@@ElishaRecords de hecho te pregunte porque tengo dos micrófonos y encontré tu vídeo tratando de aprender la mejor forma de cómo grabar mi saxo con los dos y lograr un buen sonido

[@ElishaRecords]

Creeme, ya me han pedido este tutorial bastante, y quiero hacer algo que pueda servir a muchos. Lamentablemente toma bastante tiempo programarlo todo. Mi idea eventualmente es crear un mini curso que puedan acceder a el en cualquier lugar y donde pueda no solo hacer un video, sino el paso a paso desde cero. Dime si estarias interesado en algo asi.

[@ElishaRecords]

Realmente no necesitas 2 microfonos, Pero tengo curiosidad, tienes tratamiento acustico? Y cuales son tus micros? Quizas asi pueda tener una mejor idea de como ayudarte.

[@pacomaisanava4390]

Hola Elisha, podrias decir cuales son todos esos plugins que has puesto en el video de Slate Digital para CuBase?, gracias

[@ElishaRecords]

Paco Maisanava seguro que sí, cuales te gustaría saber? Los plugins de Slate que use en el sax?

[@pacomaisanava4390]

Elisha Record Studio eso es, yo es que toco el saxo alto y he mirado en infinidad de tutoriales pero no encuentro la manera de sacar un buen sonido a mis grabaciones

[@ElishaRecords]

Paco Maisanava que microfono usas?

[@pacomaisanava4390]

Elisha Record Studio tengo 2, uno de pinza de la marca Prodipe Y otro fijo Neumann TLM 102, un muy buen micro, tienes Instagram? Por si pudiesemos hablar por alli

Hey Elisha Record Studio, thanks for the tips! They've really helped me understand more about what I need to do to improve my own recording setup. If you have time, would you mind having a look at the video recording I made on my channel? I'd love some specific tips on how I can improve my sound and setup. Thanks again!

[@ElishaRecords]

Angus Graham glad this is helping you! And I will check your video soon.

[@toro.boy.music.98]

Great thanks for your help! I really appreciate it.

[@ElishaRecords]

Angus Graham anytime!

[@santiagovera144]

I notice that the soundwaves on your project look quite "small" so to say...I normally record "hotter" , is there a "better" way to record, I mean as a rule; of course different projects may require different rec techniques... Thank you

[@ElishaRecords]

The rule I follow is normally recording at 50% to 65% of the fader. Unless is 32bit float on my NT1 which doesn’t matter cause I can adjust later.
