There are rules to follow if you're going to lip buzz the proper way a-la Doc Reinhardt. 1) NEVER tongue attack a buzz, always use a whoooo no tongue air attack. 2) Never buzz on a fatigued embouchure 3) always fully saturate your chops w saliva, even if you normally play dry 4) Always lip buzz with the airflow going downward, even if you're an upstream type player 5) don't expect much in terms of range when lip buzzing. I lip buzz every day and when I'm fresh, I can only get up to an A above the staff, once I start to play, boom! My buzzing range goes down, but keep up with it, lip buzzing the Reinhardt way will prove invaluable, especially for Downstream types to firm up your chin and facial muscles. Remember lip buzzing is twice as hard as actual playing b/c it's just you and the air, no MPC rim, MPC cup or horn. I do not recommend lip buzzing as a means to warm-up alone, it can be done in conjunction with actual playing. Any Q's? Msg me
I’m not sure if you can! Ha ha! I just use some simple, free buzzing to establish an embouchure setting first thing in the morning. I don’t do more than a couple minutes of it although.
Are you stopping to reset, or while playing? if you’re stopping, then resetting when playing, usually from low to high, that can be an issue. Try playing two octave chromatics or something like the James Stamp basic warm-up, or some other similar exercise where you’re playing at least an octave and a half to two octaves, and that forces you to figure out how to play through the “break“. Lastly, try setting with your high note embouchure before you play low. It’s much easier to learn how to play low then it is to learn how to play high.
i'm not a wind/horn player, but I have never been able to buzz decently except for spurts that squeak out the sides of my lips occasionally. U know that roundish part on the center front tip of ur upper lip? That NEVER buzzes for me... But based on your zoomed in buzzing, neither does yours? So is all buzzing off-centered?

Thanks for the info!
How do you build range on lip buzzing? Half step at a time?

I am one who re=sets without thinking about it. Trying to get myself to stop. Any tricks? It's hard to catch that...

My guess is that it is different for everyone. Mine is off to the right as bit.
