don’t forgot imaging how an ‘in tune’ sound ‘sounds like’ in your head before playing the sound on your sax could help.

I’ve been doing my long tones with a drone. My ears and intonation are both improving.

 

[Colin the Bear]

Do you have a licence to fly a drone?

I fly it at night, under the radar.

i taught myself to fly. By running down the road, catching a breeze, and flapping my arms, i soared into the sky. In my dreams.....

What’s your next upload, that you have in mind?
I’m still working on timing, still weeks away from doing an upload.

Are we coordinating uploads? That could be a fun and helpful idea.

Sax-E suggested i should do an upload....mind have to up the beans intake...

 

[Sax-E]

I've have to see, I've not planned anything yet as my tuning (lack of) requires special attention.
Regular uploads is a good way to keep our sax strap on the shoulders.

We're halfway through a 1kg bag of 4/5 roast Guatemala beans, and they have a really pleasant taste which lingers.
Move over Mocca Java, we have a new favourite.

I've just downgraded my PC from Win 7 to Win 10 and now it's half as fast as it used to be - sniff sniff.
I think I may have to play the bluuueeesss so Win 10 can keep up!

 

[6182]

@Sax-E i’m might try a 3 Bean Roast to aid my sax playing.
Coffee Beans (to stay awake while playing), Mexican Jumping Beans (to give me energy to leap around) and Baked Beans (to give me that extra wind support for blowing). There’s nothing worse than straining to get a note out!

To help strengthen up my embouchure, i might get one of those mouth guards.

I got rid of my Pc years ago, best [BGCOLOR=transparent]excuse to get rid of all the useless junk i accumulated[/BGCOLOR][BGCOLOR=transparent] on it.[/BGCOLOR]

Hi Sax-E, hope to do an upload this month

 

[6182]

Hi Jeff another couple of Grade 2 uploads for you,
my timing is starting to improve

sweet corn

Gold Nugget Boogie

[Wade Cornell]

Yea, you've got it. The Boogie is just that little bit slower so you can really feel the beat and play everything without rushing. Good tone as well. Looking GOOD!!!

You probably should have posted this separately as this is Sax-E's thread. Might also get more notice.

 

[6182]

Thanks Sax-E asked to hear one my uploads, wasn’t looking for feedback elsewhere, mainly because i’m already paying for feedback elsewhere.

 

[Colin the Bear]

Keeping the mic behind the speakers will help with feed back. 😉

 

[6182]

I’ll give that a try, could be a bit tricky as i’m using an i-touch (similar to an i-phone) to record with. i see a play on words...very helpful

 

[Sax-E]

Hi Saxbin, thanks for posting these clips. I can here the improvement in your timing. Paul must be very happy with this too. What have you done to your sax? New reed ... new MP ... new swab-cloth? - lol. There's no substitute for hard work. Excellent.
