Perhaps my reply won't be terribly useful to you; but I recommend using a large diaphragm condenser microphone. This is a pretty bad photo, but it shows me recording my tenor sax with a Behringer B-1 large diaphragm condenser. I've had excellent results using this microphone with saxophones, trumpets, clarinets and other "loud" instruments. Here you can see im pointing the microphone into the horn of the sax, a few inches away. My mixer is a Phonic Helix Board 24 Firewire. http://www.jonathangazeley.com/recording/images/DSC00578.JPG If buying a large diaphragm condenser is not an option, then a 58a will do fine. Do as Arnold recommended and place the microphone pointing into the horn, a few inches away. Changing the distance will change the quality of the sound - you will just have to try and see what sounds best :) Cheers, Jonathan Grammostola Rosea wrote: > Hi, > > I want to record a saxophone.
