Thanks William – next time i set up my mic positions, i will talk into to the mic and listen via headphones to the range and pick up positions of each mic which hopefully will give me a better idea of how each mic is working in relation to the posution of my sax. i noticed you use a reflection filter, my teacher uses one as well in that very tiny room he uses to record students playing, however he has lots of boards on the ceiling and walls to stop sound waves bouncing off – unfortunately i can’t do that in my living room – wife might nail my head to the wall with a frying pan if i did.
I’ve got to wait another 2 weeks before i can get my recording gear out again as its school holidays over here. I can’t record anything just yet as i haven’t practiced anything to record.
Instad i have been practicing working on timing with various sight reading exercises and the metronme, and it’s very frustrating, progress is very slow and somewhat nonexistent – bit like sitting in a aeroplane going through some turbulence and waiting patiently to flynout of it. But i know if i persevere it will pay off in the end, otherwise somethings going to blow. lol
