No. I use my condenser mic usually about 2 feet away on a mic stand from me which is phantom powered through my audio interface. It’s an Akg 220. I use a Mac with reaper software for mixing. Took a little bit but now I have my settings saved so I’m always the same and can make small tweeks as needed.

Wow. That much of a difference between the mb1 and fat boy? Where in the world did you find that mp? I switch up every now and then but find myself right back on the fat boy. That’s one’s def my go to. Also suppose I’m the most used to it. Plays easy for me. Altissimo comes right out and it’s the best for my intonation. Lol.

Copper fiberreed

I’ve noticed I occasionally get distortion/scratchy sounds. After playing a bit I have a wet mouth and there tends to get saliva on the backside of the reed. I take it off and wipe it down and it’s gone. Not sure if that may be an issue for ya??

Great recording!! I too am a synthetic carbon onyx user. Again, not for everyone but after years of various canes I love these things. I hated Legeres, stiff and horrible to me. I actually played on Fibracells before switching over. I am horrible to my reeds. Leave them on my horn on the stand. Pick em up and go when I play. After a couple of minutes warm up, good to go in my opinion. Love how they just respond to me right away. Also, the altissimo is easier for me with these reeds too. I have a hemp reed and way more subtle sounding as compared to the loudness and brightness of the onyx. Not a hemp fan, again, it personal choice. It’s a great feeling when ya get a go to setup!! Keep Rockin!!
