Today I compare a few microphones for horn. The microphones I look at are:
Shure SM57
AT2020 XLR
sE 2200
Shure SM7B
AKG C214
Let me know your thoughts below on these mics. All the audio is Raw and unedited. Like and subscribe as well! 00:00 Intro 00:28 Microphones 01:24 Shure SM57 01:47 AT2020 XLR 02:08 sE 2200 03:03 Shure SM7B 03:56 AKG C214 04:31 Ending

New mic, new day. Also, 8 horn parts in an hour was a but tricky. Always gotta throw a curve ball.
Alright… I bit off way more than I could chew, so for my 1-hour challenge I took an extra hour.
Feel free to subscribe as well!
Hey everyone,
My most recent 1 hour challenge is done, this time was Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla.
Honestly, this was too much to “bite off” for one hour. Oh well, still got to the end.
Also, over 80% of people who watch my content aren’t subscribed… so, if you are interested subscribe to the ol’ YouTube Channel .
Hey all,
It has been awhile since I wrote anything, I did make a rather large purchase recently to improve my quality of life as a musician, and well… allow myself to practice properly again.
Long story short, I live in a condo, horns are loud, neighbors can only be so understanding… oh ya, we have all been at home for a year, and realistically at least for me up here, the end isn’t obviously in sight.
So I got a 4848 Standard WhisperRoom to practice and record in. I’ll give a post later that goes more into it, but here is a quick video showing it in action, hindsight should have busted out my dB meter, but I didn’t. The video cuts to the chase and just shows how much more my neighbors will let me continue to be here…
Oh ya, this also means I can stream again, so doing that again on YT.
Hey all,
Here is a tutorial video for how to setup a multi-panel band grid using After Effects or Premiere.
If you are looking for the free overlays they are right here. I made 2x2, 2x4, 4x4, and 8x8 grids for free use\. There are both PNGs and Photoshop files.

With that, everyone around is subject to our practicing. I take a look at 3 practice mutes on two different horns. One Large throat, one small.
I look at:
Okura Practice Mute (get it from Ken Pope!)
Balu Practice Mute
Ebrass Practice Mute
Denis Wick Bass Trombone Harmon Mute
I have been helping many people get their online teaching going, so I thought, hey Mat! Write a blog post. Then everyone beat me to it. SO, in turn I am going to create a list of sources I have seen that are solid and put them all in one place.
So Eric wrote what is becoming the essential guide, so here is that link if you consult 1, this is the one.
The Best Services and Settings for Remote Music Lessons (with step-by-step instructions)
Eric also wrote a good article on getting setup for cheap
