@Kevin – lots of interesting info, thanks for sharing.
In my case 20 mins to unpack everything and set it up in another room – set up mic stand, set up music sheet stand, connect 1st mic to mic stand, connect 2nd mic to music stand, open laptop, connect audio interface to laptop, connect headphones to audio interface, connect 2 mic’s to audio interface,plug in audio interface, plug in laptop, switch on audio interface, switch on laptop, start up audio interface program, startup logic pro x software. Spend 1 hr warming up – mouthpiece exercises, mouthpiece + neck timing exercises, tone exercises checking pitch of each key, 12 different chromatic exercises from low Bb to altissimo D#, play all 7 overtones on 5 low keys, play 7 major scales (2 to 3 octaves) + arpeggios. start practicing piece to record.
Another 20/15 mins – set up 1st trk as mic 1, set up 2nd trk as mic 2, do sound checks on both mic’s with voice/sax and ajust audio interface knobs & mic positions. load backing track onto trk 3 – finaly ready to record.
then spend another 30 mins dismantelling everything and putting it all away in another room.
So yeah – i can appreciate the effort put into recording, even worse in my case, when you have to put it all away.
