There is always something one can improve on, but this sounded like you had great fun and quality time putting this together with your wife.
Thanks for sharing.

My crappity first attempt at recording something with my newish soprano. Lots and lots of intonation issues and flubs, but way better than a few days ago. Soprano is tough!

Wow, I knew it was kinda stinky, but I didn't think I'd kill the thread, lol....My crappity first attempt at recording something with my newish soprano. Lots and lots of intonation issues and flubs, but way better than a few days ago. Soprano is tough!

Hey all, haven't been around much. My band did our first gig since lockdown on Saturday night, got a bit of the desk recording of me and our bari player. Was reasonably happy with our solos on this track
Hope all the regulars are well!

Bholder, I liked the playing, but the intonation still needs a lot of work. You also did put a lot of effects (reverb, compression) on the soprano, which doesn't improve the sound quality. I sound a bit like that when I pick up (once per 5 years!) an alto, because my tenor embouchure is really loose. I guess for soprano that would become even worse, so playing with a more tight embouchure and keeping on practizing is the way to go!My crappity first attempt at recording something with my newish soprano.

Nice energetic solo work from both, sounding good. For your own solo I would advice to avoid playing very straight eights and the trap of playing only fragments of 2 or 4 bars long in a blues scheme. Starting phrases at different spots and adding some double time can make a solo way more interesting (like in the first part of the baritone solo).

Thanks! I satisfied my "need" for effects tinkering with the synth stuff, so I left the sax part clean and unmolested....
@bholder - Very nice and creative take, it has a kind of 70's feeling over it.
