Loud tonguing

[john]

Why do you think people sound better when they sing in the shower? You found 2 good rooms to record in. Recording yourself is a really good idea if you want to improve faster.

As far as your loud tonguing problem, there are fixes available but do record yourself cause I'd like to hear what you're talking about.

Here is a link to a recording I just did.

I doesnt seem to sound as loud as normal in that recording so im thinking its just all in my head 🙂
Either that or its just becuase im using my phone to record

In case you were wondering im attempting the solo from Sorrow as performed by David Bowie. Originally on alto but transposed for tenor 🙂

James, It sounds like a little bit of both… the limiter/compression on your recording device is overly sensitive, your tonguing technique sounds a little bit heavy as well.

I can't help you with your recorder but try and lighten up on your tongue a little bit. Light tongue, push off your reed quicker, don't be so heavy with it… ta,ta,ta…shorter connection time.
