I'm just starting to get back to regular Sax playing after 25 years. This was a test of the eSax Mute as a mini recording booth at home. Mixed in the original track over the recording in Audacity to get a more integrated sound.

This is a marker. I hope to listen to it in a year and hear a marked difference in my play.

Credits:
- Jamey Aebersold's Play-Along series featuring:

The Reigning Days

Tinsel Town

Trying the Boss RC300 loop station for first time. Maybe a few minutes after getting everything hooked up.

Spontaneity

Boss RC300 first riff

Current state of my rendition of Can You Feel The Love. Performance coming in January! 

Hoping to stay faithful to the melody for the most part but still introduce a little of my personality.

Can You Feel The Love - Sax Audition 181208

Experimenting with the Boss RC-300. Built-in drum track. Maybe 6 layers of soprano sax on top.

Improving audio quality is on my todo list. Currently I'm mixing just with the Boss RC300 and recording lead part directly over it whilst capturing in Audacity (on a mac) so there's no opportunity to mix the parts "in post". Liking the immediacy of this setup but it has its drawbacks.

Dissolute Rev 1

Alto Theo Wanne Gaia 2 mouthpiece arrived today so the Alto is back out of the box! A little trio of two alto parts and a soprano part. Recorded on Boss RC-300.

Hello Alto

Created the piano riff whilst trying Dorico for the first time.  

Hit technical issues that were worsened by not reading/watching the available help but happy to have this to show for it. Suspect I'll be a diehard fan of Dorico once I'm used to it.

Piano part exported as wav from Dorico. Used The Grandeur piano from Native Instruments library.

Sax recorded using Boss RC-300 using Audio Technica ATM350U. Reverb and mix in Audacity.

Frustration

another attempt to sort out a recording setup. tried to keep sound clean and crisp this time.

Atmos Sphere

Recorded bass via HX Stomp in BitWig 3 on Linux. 
Recorded tenor sax with Ableton Live 10 on Mac. 

Midi drum beat based on a samba rhythm from MrDrumRhythms (YouTube), added in Ableton Live.

Produced in Ableton Live.
