    Beginners/Intermediates post your recordings here - 2013

    Thread Starter: Chili Pepper

    Listening to your recordings makes me pretty hesitant to post anything. The level is very high here! Great job everyone! Here are 2 tunes I recorded recently, far from good as you will see. Lullaby of Birdland (much too long and has no ending) Someday my prince will come (December's TOTM on a...

    The horse is dead or is it?

    Thread Starter: Pete Thomas

    At the risk of incurring the wrath of those who don't want another materials discussion, I am offering these comparison soundfiles as one of the most meaningful yet. This is not done with a view to proving anything to anyone, it is for my own interest, and I think some people here will also be...

    Post your classical playing here!

    Thread Starter: Merlin

    It's high time those of us who play classical music on saxophone put our talents on display. There's a very active thread in Misc. Saxophone Discussion where people post clips of themselves - it's one of the busiest areas on this board, other than the buy/sell postings. I'm starting this thread...

    Selmer Mark VI Owners Club

    Thread Starter: Helen

    I did some searches, and I didn't come up with a thread like this, so I hope I'm not duplicating. :shock: OK boys and girls, so it's fess up time. Given all the Mark VI threads around, I thought it would be kind of fun to see how many of the 16,000+ SOTW members actually own one or more of the...

    Re: My Search for a Mark VI

    This is exactly my point. The lay listener may not recognize it among a lot of other cheaper horns that he/she listens to, and even saxophonists may find it difficult, but the experienced,...

    Re: How to Get More Growl Out of My YAS-62? Critique this clip... how to "man up" my alto tone? thx :)

    It doesn't sound like there is any growl at all, so the first thing would be to work on getting some growl.

    Re: Big Band Notation: "-4"?

    I don't think so, I've never seen that. If it is then it's completely superfluous because the notation shows that anyway (dotted minim is held up to the beginning of beat 4, ie end of beat 3)

    Re: Is this normal? MP Rails

    I get that but the answer is still the same. ask the person he got it from.

    He clearly doesn't know what is normal or what to expect. That sounds like inexperience to me. were those marks there...
