Playing the saxophone Hello hello! And a thank you :)

Hello Everyone

I have wanted to learn the saxophone all my life, and finally took it up aged 45. I’ve been playing for just over two years now, and it has been the most amazing and rewarding experience 🙂

I must have signed up the the forum when I first started lessons, as I just found a welcome email from Jeanette (Jeanette I’m so sorry it’s take 2 years for me to post!).

My teacher advised me to start recording myself as it will really help with my learning. After spending hours trying to work out Reaper I was at my wits end……..until I came across this post from Veggie Dave:

Recording - Reaper - Very, Very Basic Guide (Video)

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyuECL6WgqA&feature=emb_logo Quite a few of us on here love and constantly recommend Reaper, but because it's a real studio application many people assume that it will be far too complicated to use ... especially for simple recordings over a backing track...

Despite being from 2017 it is still incredibly helpful! Thank you Dave, thank you! I was about to give up on recording altogether but your post saved me! (Not sure how / if can tag Dave to this message?).

Very much looking forward to being a part of this forum over the coming years.

Best Sam (aka Superdolls)

Hello and Welcome.

A modern mobile phone has a fair recording capability. When you compare it to shellac 78's. 😉
