Well played!

It’s quite difficult to get the balance right if you play along with a recording that has another leading instrument playing in the recording. You only have two options, either you put your sax on the left speaker and the other sax on the right speaker, or both sax’s share both the left and right speakers – it’s personal choice.

very nice!

with very little knowledge of drumming, it’s quite impressive watching this

good sound!

i’ve noticed 4 ingredients that top flight players have in common in any type of activity
1) tend to start young 2) intensely passionate about their type of work 3) desperate to get out there and demonstrate what they can do and show no signs of nervousness 4) will not stop at nothing or let anyone get in their way to get to the top

You’ve got a good tenor sax and recording setup – if i was to ever upgrade my yamaha alto, i’d probably get the alto 85.

nice one!
what’s your tenor setup, and recording setUp?

thanks Johnny !
It makes practicing every day more worthwhile to receive feedback. As a novice and a dreamer what more can i say. Being able to record and tinker around with recordings is my only hobby.

and the sound of a saxophone can’t be beaten……only by a great singer

alto and clarinet

testing out Logic Pro to combine Clarinet Track with Alto Track – unfortunately both recordings weren’t in time, but it’s more of a test just to her what the two instruments would sound together on a backing track, my aim is to get guitar and keyboards as well later on.

when i play the lower two octaves on the clarinet, i’ve got no problem between playing the sharps and flats in any major scale. It’s the last 6 keys in the upper third octave from D up to G (D,D#,Eb,E,E#,F,F#,Gb,G) that is harder to remember the key positions for each one as the keys on the clarinet as they are like playing alternative fingering…[Read more]

thanks for the support, Jeff and Leo.
I was quite surprised how well a plasticover reed sounded on the clarinet, the reed i used was a size 3.5 not a 2.5 reed, plasticover reeds are quite good on the Alto as well, saves you having to wet them.

i never realised how difficult playing scales from a music sheet is on a clarinet in the 3rd octave, it…[Read more]

I bought the clarinet off my daughter, with the view that she can have it back later on if she decides to pick it up again, i had to have it serviced as one of the pads had worn out and the four corks on it needed shaving down, and i had to buy a better ligature for it.

The annoying thing is when i started playing, i couldn’t put it down…[Read more]
