Hi sxpoet,,,,I read your post and wonder,,,,You must have a computer to use logic pro,,,and therefore you must have a work desk or station for your computer and speakers. I use a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface. It has a usb connection to the computer and the size is remarkable. I have it on my small desktop hooked to my computer. The Scarlett is roughly 5-1/2 inches wide about 3-1/2 deep and about 2 inch or less high. It does not take up any space hardly at all and it works great!! I use Audacity DAW program. The only other item is my microphone,,,a shure model 58 and a microphone stand. That is the only thing I can say that takes up a small space. You could hook up the focusrite and leave it on your desk. All you would have to do then is get your sax out of the case and play. I can load a backing track into Audacity and practice at any time. No set up time. Go to focusrite.com and look at the Scarlett 2i2 or any of the other offerings for audio interface. Focusrite is a great product and mine was only $180.00 when I bought it. It is a second generation version and they have newer 3rd and 4th generation. Mine has two inputs of either instrument or microphone, monitor output ports and a headset port in the front. Also includes 48V phantom power for condenser mics. Hope this helps you. As a minimum this arrangement can be left out and not visually bothersome or space taking.

It appears that you have resolved to the best approach for your situation. Sorry I was of no help there. I maybe wrong but I sense you are a seasoned musician. I give you a “Clap” for ignoring the space situation and using creative thinking to overcome the issue. That is determination! By todays standard a home setup is super advanced as to what it used to be.

Enjoyed forum chat with you. Let me know of any post you may have done on recordings. I am 77 yrs old and just recently blew the dust off of my sax in the closet and started playing again. I post my humble recordings on youtube. If you want to hear any of the 4 that I have posted just go to youtube and search WAYNE GALTIER. It will bring you directly to my videos. Just click on my icon pic and the songs will be listed.

Best to you,

I spoilt myself and bought a YAS62. It it 200g heavier than my YAS26 and has a more mellow sound.
I played my YAS26 with a 1,9mm MP but discovered that the YAS62 is more free blowing and I didn’t have enough wind power to spare.
I had to go back to a narrow gap MP and I’ve only just moved back to a Selmer C**.
Isn’t it strange how another Yamaha Alto can be so different to play?
