Sub tones; I want learn how to sub tone like Sam Butera. I watched and listened to Sam Butera play “You Belong to Me”. He played it in sub tones

Hi everybody. This is one of my few attempts to embellish or improvise around a melody, “I’ve got dreams to Remember”

I like Carbon onyx reeds Medium strength and Copper #2

I had logic pro. It was so complicated. I threw it away and burned the disks in the front yard. I prefer garage band and I don’t use any GarageBand effects. I rely on my preamp. johnny told me to keep every thing flat in GarageBand and use my preamp. Don’t even use the gain on my interface. Just use my preamp.Just me, my horn, and, you know, my…[Read more]

Putting the mic 3-4 feet from sounds good. I’ll do that next time I have the horn out like tomorrow. Today I was blowing a lot of Sam Cooke and Hungry Eyes from Dirty Dancing. Thanks Johnny

Sound is improving. I moved the mike near the holes and above the bell, Maybe 2/3 up the bore. And I adjusted the gain on the preamp. and the trim. Added the Silk. Still working on it. and tomorrow the High Pass filter. So little by little I’ll lose the bucket sound.

Thanks Johnny
First I’ll move the mike around like above the bell up along the sax sound holes. Work with the gain on the preamp. I’ll keep using GarageBand track for feed back

I’m working on my sound. My recordings sound like I’m in a bucket.

Great playing
