TuneMoner-

Thanks. Been really having a lot of fun with BIAB. I'm working to get some of my original material produced in BIAB. Gonna try and put together an arrangement that will have ALL my horns on it (Soprano/Alto/Tenor/Baritone Sax, Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, and EWI).


Warmest regards,

Learned a couple of new tricks for split screen recording, so I went back and re-edited "My Blue Heaven" from a couple of weeks ago. Same video clips and audio tracks. I think it's cleaner (border between the frames and I'm the same size in both frames). Also, got the audio synced better with the video. Let me know what you think.

Gonna spend Spring Break trying to get another split screen recording done of an original tune. OR... maybe try a Coltrane ballad. Maybe both.

Make sure that I am looking in the direction of which horn is playing at the moment. Also, add some harmonies/backgrounds on the non-melody/soloist horns. Maybe animate the individual frames so that they zoom into place and the melody/soloist is in a bigger frame to be featured while the others are in smaller frames while playing backgrounds or just listening to the melody on the featured instrument (not sure how to do this yet... but I am researching it).
All good things but they don't address how you captured the horns...mic, reverb, compression, EQ, distance etc. were the things I was interested in.
By the way, you'll not you've had a few listens & responses but don't seem to have reciprocated. I'm sure there're folks in the forum who like a listen & comment. Not me, but others.

Ah.... now I understand what you were asking.

Ok... I'm using an Sennheiser 441-u for the saxophones. I record into Logic Pro X. For EQ, I run a low pass on the saxophones, push the mids in the 2-3k range, and roll the highs off a bit. Reverb is with the Logic Pro Chroma Verb- Set to "Room", Dry at 85%, Wet at 10%. I run the Logic Pro Compression and Noise Gate using the default settings. Mic is place pointed at the middle of the saxophone (around the F/G key), approximately 3 feet away.

I also have a FetHead by Triton plugged into the back of the mic... it's a dynamic mic and records pretty soft. To get around this, the FetHead, an In-Line Microphone Preamp. It boosts the signal 27db.
