Well, B is brighter. Maybe a bit too bright. But that's why mixing
desks and DAWs have eq. Bright can be useful, as long as the mic
responds graciously to eq when you don't want that instrument to cut
through.

It might be interesting to eq each sample until it sounded "best",
THEN compare.


Hmmm, I didn't want to get into all that just yet (if ever) - right now, I
just record the stuff! If it needs to do more than simply provide 'instant
replay/playback' for Swim Bo at this stage, then the *producer* concerned
can sort it out!! (And he knows who he is!! ;-)

(I actually tried a little reverb on the sax the other night and we both
thought it sounded worse!! :-)


You really need to do something about that key noise on the
instruments!


Next step, having made my mic selection, is to concentrate on placement and
I hope that will help with key noise (I don't like it either) - after that
it's down to the 'artiste'....!!

Now, enough about me - let's talk about *you* for a while - how's it going
with the old Trom Bone?

Had a bit of a wheeze through it yet?
