It's still going to be hard to record the sax on some tunes, but this unit should save most of the frustration I had with trying to hold my horn and work computer software. The auto punch-in, punch-out with the knobs for eq seems like it will be worth the cost.

On loud, middle of the horn blowing, it's easier to record the Tenor sax. However, if you try to imitate the old “Masters“, on a slow ballad playing the tenor in the lowest register all the way down to the bottom Bb in a soft moody tone, it's much harder to get the Mic to pick up the sound that is coming from the bottom of the horn (bell). If you blast it out, it will pick up the note, but it doesn’t sound very good on a soft moody ballad. The old “Masters” invented a term called sub-toning on the Tenor. I haven’t heard anyone do it on an Alto. The Tenor excels in sub-toning...

So I'll probably try it through my Mackie mixer or even try my little RMS mixer so as to be able to use maybe 2 or 3 Mics. One set way at the bottom of the horn where the low sounds come out of the bell. If the Mackie or the RMS doesn't work I'll probably need advice on a mixer for recording.

I wish someone here would be experienced in what I want to do or maybe knew someone who could help me through email. Most of the folks who knew about this particular recording problem are dead now.

I can growl and blow you out of your seat if I‘m doing Watermelon Man, Honky Tonk, Night Train, Ode To Billie Joe etc. etc. and I won’t have any problem with notes being heard with that style of playing. when I record. But, the slow soft stuff is frustrating. Help! Help! Help!
Thanks again
