I wish you guys had played us the recorded files instead of hearing what the camera picked up from your monitors in your room.

GREAT VIDEO - THANKS GUYS!

Never heard someone call the royer mic a mid priced microphone haha

Trying to teach myself how to set up my sax for mic. What does the mic connect to. Thanks

Listen to Arturo Tappings :Unfaithful by Rihanna live ,then listen to him playing the same song recorded in the Studio. What mic and plugg inns you think he used to gey that worm sound? Help.

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

If only I were rich enough to consider the senn 421 ‘cheap’ .......lol. God only knows we can’t all dish out $400+ for a dynamic mic. Woulda been nice if they put an sm57 in the mix, as its 1/4 the price of the 421 and it sounds quite good on alto!

Ciao mi chiamo Erika, sono una sassofonista neofita nel campo dei microfoni per strumenti musicali pertanto, una volta che ho scelto e acquistato il microfono dpa vote core 4099, vorrei chiederti dove deve essere collegato?....ho bisogno di un amplificatore o va collegato direttamente ad una cassa audio? Potresti inviarmi i link indicandomi tutto quello che occorre oltre al microfono? Grazie mille per la disponibilità....un bacio😘

Ok well first you did not use the same time & licks he played differnt licks .. record the same time all mic's then compare.

Nice video, guys. Personally I hate the most expensive mic's sound, and I like the cheap one. I know it's super personal, but the large diaphragm condenser just reminds me of my cheap audio technica AT2020. The mid range is too dark for me, which I know is the trend currently, but in reggae, salsa, funk, hip hop, R&B it sounds flat and boring imho. Next time maybe include the sound with a full band mix, and longer excerpts. Also if you could include the sax player's setup, it would help us sax gearheads. I have that cannonball, even with the same lacquer, but it's a tenor and I play a ponzol wide opening. I love my setup. Keep it up.

I notice that none of them used foam windscreens, is that on purpose or would one be an advantage?

did 421s used to be cheaper? because I wouldn’t call a 600 dollar mic cheap.

Guys nights video but you actually don’t make it to the value bike it to the body and bell

That room sounds bad through the camera mic

421 is a very commom choice to me it kills a tenor sound. I like the beyerdinamic201 a lot more, way fuller natural sound.

Too much room except maybe Royer.

I also did this and made a very quick vid with different Saxes and Mics :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mp6bYLyXzqedk30.html I hope this is a help for someone who wants to hear direct sound signal, very fun to do

"cheap mic" 421? HAHA

Umm. Same sound. Same mic

Ah, yes "this far off the mic..." -gestures-
