Maybe try this... It all depends on your saxophone sound. Are you playing a Selmer MK VI, Super Action 80 MKII, Yamaha, Yanigasawa, etc. Are you using a hard rubber or metal mouthpiece. Do you want the horn to sound bright or a little darker? There is no one single pick here. I know how I...

It's like this... Just think of them as another color crayon in your pack of Crayolas. Be creative. Don't put yourself in the mindset "I have to use <such-and-such> on my <NAME YOUR APPLICATION> because the book tells me to." Use them on whatever you feel like using them on. If they get the...

Uhhhhh.... There's not too much to a snake. It's like just wire & XLR's. However, wire quality will affect the sound of the snake. Construction and/or destruction will determine the life span of it. Try looking into HOSA, Whirlwind, PRO-CO or horizon snakes. You might find something you...

There's a few options... Does your DAW have an export function? That way you can export the .wav file to your desktop (or wherever else you like) & burn it right from your computer. If you need CD burning software: Sony makes CD Architect which is both easy to pick up & does CD's to red book...

Weeeelllllll....... If I can be honest, I don't think there's much that you can get for the price range you're in. The general rule is "you get what you pay for". Of course, there are exceptions. Unfortunately, I don't think you start getting acceptable monitors until you hit the $500.00...

If you're really serious... There are a bunch of options you can choose. It all depends how much you want to spend. But... remember this: go for a quality digital converter! The reason digital sounds digital is because of cheap converters. You don't need to go record 192kHz to get good...
