Got some new video tools I’m playing with. Downloaded Johnnys backing track for this and decided to use this as the guinea pig video. LOL

There are many play along versions of songs like are describing on you tube. They are not Johnny quality as they seem midi based but the notes play and a bar follows along while the note is played. There are various tunes out there. just search sax play along. just indicate alto or tenor for you preferred key.

Nice one James. I still remember back when you first joined here! Major improvements. Love seeing that with our members over the years!! Sound and Video editing can be difficult to get a hold of as well. But when we are at that stage, we must be doing something right with our playing by then!! Good One!

Started this project Thursday! I need a class in video editing. Not the end result I was looking for but really its all about the music anyways. Happy with my sound progression. Needed to work on my alto to make it stand up to my tenor so that was good! Learned some things in the process as far as video recording…[Read more]

WOW. Love the copper reeds for my tenor. I did find that the sound was much more of what I was looking for when I paired it with my metal FB mouthpiece tho. I am still waiting on shipment to try on my alto. I currently use a Vandoren JumboA45 for the alto. Wonder how this MP will stack up?? Will be interesting to see how they compare. To be…[Read more]

jake replied to the topic rock n roll improvise put through logic pro in the forum Recording Your Saxophone 4 years, 6 months ago
I don’t agree with ya here James. I actually prefer the sound of the other recording. The sax sound is LOST in this logic pro mix. Yea there is effects on your sound but to my ears hurts the mix. The other recording much more clear and focused! Gotta have some fast fingerings too for this song! Good job.

Thanks for the help. Yea love listening to Hank carter. Heard he played a berg Larsen metal piece so that was one of my 1st professional mp years ago. A berg 120/0. High baffle. Still wasn’t getting his sounds so def knew there was more to it. I believe years ago on the old blog section Johnny sated he used a berg Larsen years ago.
