I was looking for a comment like this hahahaha!

Would love to hear some tips about the next steps once the music is in the DAW. How to effectively use the equalizer, reverb settings, compression etc. there are a million settings in GarageBand, and I’m wondering if I’m properly taking advantage of them.

Extremely useful video, thank you.

Great video! Very helpful

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.

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.

The first video with Neuman has very good air!

Can i use bandlab?

[@lisawanderess]

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

[@jordel0577]

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.

[@TheJazz625]

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

[@Thomas-gg3yy]

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

[@saxworldwide]

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!

[@outdatedgear5036]

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