I play soft and sub-tone on the low end AND MANY MICS WON'T PICK THAT UP.

I don't blast every note out into a mic through the whole tune.


I've gotten fairly reasonable results with my Apex 460 tube mic. I stand as close as possible to the mic with the bell of the horn to try and minimize any room noise, as I'm just recording in my rec room and not a proper studio. The Apex 460 does a pretty nice job on the horn and seems to capture the sub-tones especially well. The Apex 460 sells for about $300.00 in these parts.
