I remember back in the years not knowing about baffles etc I showed up in Jazz Camp with a T-95 mouthpiece. The band leader who was head of Jazz studies at Webster college in St Louis almost kicked me out of the band

Mike, You do have a nice buzz on that horn. how do you do it?
William

Thanks James. You are welcome to it. I played it in A major on the guitar. A major is for the Bb sax. So if I ever record it with my sax I’ll blow it in A major. The original published key is G major

Hi James
I’m looking at the link you sent,Anytune and Anytune Pro. I have a mac computer with garageband. I record on garageband. My set up is this: horn blows into my Microphone. Sound goes into my preamp on to my Audient interface into my computes’s garageband. (GarageBand looks like a simple Logic Pro). How does Anytune fit in? My Mac…[Read more]

Thanks James
I do have some swing songs. On my music stand is a swing jazzy “Sweet Georgia Brown”. Quarter Note=176. Backing track is 176 BPM. Too fast for me so I can’t use the backing track. I’ll play it with no backing track
William

OK. I found some metronomes on line. Before I practice a song I’ll use the on line metronome to go up and down the scale in which the song is written

I do better tapping my foot. I have to feel the beat. When using a metronome I tend to listen to the metronome instead of my horn however I can’t use a backing track yet. I’ve been working sub tones.
William

Sounds great Leo. Tell about the zoom q2n 4k handy cam. I have a friend in eastern Canada pushing some kind of zoom

James: My neck strap was too long. I have two “Just Joe” neck straps. Also i went back to 7* slant sig 2. My King is blowable but harder to blow.

Thanks James. I’ll check my neck straps. Maybe the one I was using was too long or the reed was put on wrong. Room was dark

Great job

I’m still working on sub tones. Maybe in a year I’ll be able to play sub tones

Thanks for all the helpful info re: sub tones

I’ll be working on sub tones for the next few weeks, months, or years

Thank you Saxomonica for digging all this info on sub tones. Valuable info. I’m referring to it often.
