A wind instrument from the brass family, it owns its name to its creator Antoine-Joseph Sax: the saxophone!

I have never really looked @ the recording of a sax from that angle but it looks quite interesting & a learning experience for me

That's the spirit :)

You know, strange things can happen when you take a look at recording techniques that are specific to other instruments you usually don't record. For instance, recording flute with a lot of mechanical noises for a specific kind of production gave me the idea to use a mic in front of an electric guitar to capture more hands movement sound. Mixed with the take of the amp, the result is quite interesting ! And I would have never thought about this without the flute... Strange, isn't it ?
