- It's hard to hear the hiss on the STJ on this video but trust me once you start playing with it, you'll notice it right away. The hiss isn't very loud, but it makes the STJ unusable for recording. the Rode VXLR+ is a suitable replacement for the STJ
awesome ! thanks for the review and recommendation for solving hiss problem. I think yamaha intended the battery-powered box to be used for practicing first and foremost. It was probably not designed for recording ... just my guess
Love this mute. I think you're right it's not for recording
Hello i'll buy yamaha sb7j to practice and home recording. i dont have any audio interface and mic. My question is, if i want to home recording, i'd better buy the rode vxlr+ and another mic without audio interface?
or the personal studio can connect the audio interface?
Thank you!
Hello Eric!
First of all, sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker :D
I just bought the VXLR+, but I cannot get it to sound (properly). The chain is: Mute -> VXLR+ -> Behringer UMC 404 hd (+48 V). The Behringer UMC 404 hd is not the best audio interface, but it should do the job...
The sound is really, really bad, with lots of weird noise and the trumpet volume is very low. I checked the inputs with a condenser mic and it works fine. I don't know what's wrong, so I'm a bit worried about the mute. Is it probably broken by the phantom power? That would be strange as the mute mic works on 3V and the VXLR+ converts 48V to 3-5V, so it should work...
I also tried adjusting the gain knob, attenuation pad, line/inst pad... But no luck.
Does anyone have similar problems? Any idea what is happening?
you have to split the stereo cable into 2 mono signals and only use one of the mono signals. I didn't make that clear in the video.
I forget if it's the left channel or right channel that yamaha uses, but try both of them. One will be quiet the other will be the one with the signal.
@@bonerici Many thanks for your quick response! Now the sound is quite better, but the electrical noise is still there, I will continue to investigate. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful to read them.
Thank you!
@@jorger24998 I have two different yamaha mutes, neither makes any noise at all. I suspect a bad stereo cable. But I'm sure you know how to do your own diagnostics.
HI
Can you tell me what alternative device you plugged the mute into after you fitted the Rode VXLR+ please ?
that's just an ordinary audio input device with phantom power and XLR connectors. You know like the fousrite or presonus. There are about 100 decent audio input devices to choose from I'm no expert on which is best, but I think they all work pretty well.
@@bonerici Thanks for your reply - Once connected to my audio input device how do I listen to what I'm playing live? - On your video you are looking at your monitor - are you playing back a recording or monitoring live via headphones. I just can't see how to do it yet, your guidance would be appreciated!. Thanks a lot from the UK
@@user-pb2gm8ok6v you want some kind of audio program. I use ableton live but free ones work too
For someone like you just use the yamaha box that comes with the mute. It's OK for practice and doesn't require all this additional stuff
So with this plug in do your neighbours can hear trumpet sound?
No. It's quieter than someone talking.
