Practice SAXOPHONE in an APARTMENT without anyone hearing

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Have you ever had trouble practicing in a shared space? How do you manage that situation?

[@mattyg499]

Stuffing an old pair of briefs down the bell can dampen the sound somewhat too …

[@mattyg499]

Sorry wrote this in the wrong spot and cant delete but yeah kinda works a bit )

[@cynthiamay9003]

I don’t even have a saxophone and have never played one so I have no idea what I’m doing here but I know I’m glad to be here cause you’re voice is gorgeous

[@MrDavidFitzgerald]

Very well produced video. The three shots of the apartment for sound comparison during the Sax Mute One section were really useful, thanks!

[@josiahsegovia9248]

Very professional, as a tenor saxophone player I loved your video, just subscribed, I hope the youtube algorithm is in your favor!

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Thanks Josiah! Let me know if there’s a topic you want me to make a video about!

[@josiahsegovia9248]

@@AllenMusicTalk thanks man! much appreciated! Ya know I've always wondered if prices on instruments really matter. Like what's the difference between an expensive saxophone or starter one ya know, but hey thats just a possibile idea, i love the content and I'm glad your active with your community and comments, certainly glad I got your channel recommended looking forward for more content!

[@wacokidd]

my old band director in High School would've loved to have these for our saxophone section back in the day.

[@worshipl7]

I have a Whisper room and a Emeo I recommend the Emeo it's the best for noiseless practicing you are going to find.

[@tctc2470]

Look into an Emeo Sax. You will never regret it!

[@HassanMuhammad-x4f]

Keep up the good work my young brutha!!!

[@zebra3stripes]

I must have one of those Stormtrooper saxes because I miss every note I try to play.

[@Errordemn6]

Great video! Never thought about a whisper room!

[@ulrap1202]

Hi Allen, great video. Which model Whisper Room is that? They have a bunch of different models on the site, so I was trying to see which one is appropriate for practicing saxophone. Thanks!

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Hey, this is a 4x6 WhisperRoom. I’d say that I have just enough space to be comfortable practicing and recording videos with this model.

[@Melody_Mike.4460]

If you got a big enough closet or pantry, get some acoustic sound pads and put them in the walls of the closet or pantry. Then you have a mini practice room

[@regparham4793]

Well done video, very informative.

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Thanks!

[@mrcrowleyoz]

Can you make a video of your whisper room? Is it DIY or did you buy it prefabricated?

[@u-isabeats3346]

Thanks man, I'm having this problem right now

[@martincommunications5381]

Thank you Allen. I just received my Saxmute One. Do you have any recommendations for mic and headphones to use with the Saxmute One?

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Hey Martin! I prefer to use wired mics over wireless so that I don’t have to recharge all of the time. This is the one that I use: amzn.to/3J70iPo

[@AllenMusicTalk]

These are the headphones that I use: amzn.to/32Z0cKz

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Have you had a chance to practice much with the SaxMute yet?

[@martincommunications5381]

@@AllenMusicTalk I'm actually about to start using it tomorrow. Just saw your other channel. Do you use wired or wireless when performing?

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Hey, on my other channel, I record into a different kind of wired mic. This one here: amzn.to/34AW2bY

[@lucashenning3158]

And if you're a college student like me who can't afford any of these options, you practice in your car.

[@sypwer]

Bro, i can't afford a car

[@petermurphy5302]

I got temporary hearing damage from doing that.

[@sax.odyssey]

You can afford a car but not a 400$ mute :D? What the heck mate?

[@OGStazzy]

I’m a guitar player with two daughters turning sax players I dedicated ALOT OF Time into my guitar but I want to play some real bird stuff on the instrument bird played. Might actually buy a car just to practice in and dry around of course

[@Oi-mj6dv]

If you do that, get some hearing protection cause you can permanently fuck your ears up.

[@spambobular3112]

Great video!!

[@a1saxy]

where do you get the whisper room from?

[@AllenMusicTalk]

You can order it directly from the company: whisperroom.com

[@joshkabosh7244]

Great video! I wanna hear some of your music

[@eudaldbalcells2117]

Thanks for the video ! Could you expand on the system you use to hear what you play through your phone? How do you connect the microphone to your phone? Do you need an interphase between both? If yes, what should this interphase do ? Any recommendation regarding the equipment needed is welcome ! Thanks !

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Good question, I'd like to make a video about that next!

[@millennial8441]

I heard somewhere that sax players have hearing loss as time goes by. Is it like that?

[@officialclairegmusician]

That's really cool! Why don't you have any bari sax videos 🤔

[@nestorms2384]

And what can I use for a soprano saxophone?

[@AllenMusicTalk]

It's a lot harder with soprano saxophone. Other than a vocal booth, I haven't seen a good solution yet.

[@allinfootball9564]

Thank you 🔥🙏❤️

[@BeachBoi1000]

Saxmute one is good. I have the Japanese brand of that with a line out plug that can be connected to tuner. It’s few hundred dollars, better than to renovate the room to be soundproof

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Thanks for sharing! What is the brand name of the one that you have?

[@BeachBoi1000]

@@AllenMusicTalk Best Brass - e-Sax Mute. Cheaper than to make my room soundproof.

[@thefirstgoaround7023]

Looks like an Iron Maiden for sax! Awesome!

[@zvacanti]

How much did that whisper room cost?

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Hey Zac, check out their website for the prices: whisperroom.com

[@kallemetsahalme5701]

they must do a portable whisper room. like floor connects around your waist and top a bit over your head. plus youll look so cool walking in that room outside

[@ayitedalmeida5381]

Thank you! 😂

[@dam0nt]

I couldn't play quieter at my apartment but after watching this video neither

[@fordprefect4345]

My neighbours love it but they never get the Beat right or the tempo right when they're banging on the wall in time😮

[@AGC828]

Terrific video man. Well worth having made. Didnt know about the "shisper room" . Best solution for any type of home. Essentially a portable closet. Maybe not's not portable. :) But doable for most people. Would be excellent for any type of hand-held instrument....brass or woodwind. ...perhaps not a woodwind bass...heh...not sure how much space there is in one of these "rooms).. Do you have a link for the Whisper Room?

[@AllenMusicTalk]

Hi Anderson, this is their website: whisperroom.com/ They definitely have different sizes of rooms, so these can be useful to anyone with the space to install one.

[@jabulaniharvey]

Saxmute for soprano

[@fugosfork7907]

I want to learn but it bothers my family... Im too new to buy anything, I'm renting the sax

[@harryw9598]

allen my friend , bout time to move. i would love you as my neighbour..

[@_soulcraft_]

It’s like the Iron Maiden but squishy… the squishy maiden.

[@Drew.Joseph]

Thank God for trumpet mutes 🔇

[@Skelterbane69]

That looks like an iron maiden for babies

[@mattyg499]

Old school way is to blow into a closet!!!!!!!!

[@jeffreybiggs8990]

God. This is just too much.....Sax must be open and be free friends.
