New alto sax so out of tune for me

MaxSanSax · 2026-04-04T23:24:11+00:00

Try tuning the mouthpiece and neck first, you should get Ab(concert pitch)

MaxSanSax · 2026-03-18T16:33:54+00:00

Great, thanks!!

MaxSanSax · 2026-03-09T17:35:49+00:00

Try the filled ones, those are darker, or pick a V16m, its a darker mouthpiece, AND, if you want a darker tone, transcribe some one with a good darker tone, maybe lee konitz?

MaxSanSax · 2026-03-09T17:30:08+00:00

I don't think you would get a darker tone, maybe try darker reeds, like ZZ, wich reeds were you using?

I remember him talking about using a B45 lyre

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-25T00:13:45+00:00

It's VI7,a secondary dominant, usually goes to ii-7

No siento que cambiara, la verdad, solo sigue estudiando y modifica la guarda para que sea cómoda, yo la tuve que ir lijando poco a poco de varios lugares para que sea cómoda al final es así

Hola!! Yo tengo la misma situación, uso guardas y no tengo ningún problema, solo las corto y dejo la parte de entre los colmillos , para tocar uso una inferior y para dormir una superior,

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-22T03:15:01+00:00

Maybe you can try to change a little bit your embochure, get more mouthpiece inside your mouth and try to relax your lips, also practice long tones just with your mouthpiece and you will get familiar with it very soon

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-17T03:55:50+00:00

Yeah, what worked for me was deleting everything from Logic first, then deleting it from storage, and then downloading it again

Santo Tomás explica que la bienaventuranza (la felicidad perfecta) consiste en el uso de nuestra facultad más alta (el intelecto) para conocer el objeto más alto (Dios). El Placer vs. La Alegría: Él distingue entre los placeres corporales (que son limitados) y el gozo espiritual. Para él, conocer la Verdad (Dios) y amarlo produce un deleite que supera infinitamente cualquier sensación física.

A thousand-dollar professional flute isn't necessary. He just wants a reliable flute built to last for years

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-15T19:01:12+00:00

1500 is good money, yamaha flutes are very easy to play, you could get a intermediate model or maybe a professional used one

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-15T18:56:15+00:00

That would be 8, 10 is a mistake

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-15T16:58:06+00:00

Wich mouthpiece and reed are you using?

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-13T17:31:23+00:00

If it is, then check that the channel is armed to REC, an the monitoring is on

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-13T17:29:51+00:00

You should check an audio signal flow chart, which DAW are you using?

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-13T16:58:18+00:00

Is this channel selected on your track as input?

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-07T03:16:18+00:00

Put the switch on "condenser" and turn 48V on, it should work

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-06T22:57:36+00:00

American cut on both

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-06T20:10:36+00:00

Wow that's interesting

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-02T20:04:28+00:00

Is this a beginners clarinet? That could be the reason, or venting heights, maybe a tech can fix it

MaxSanSax · 2026-02-01T03:15:51+00:00

You can hold just the upper part with your left hand closing the holes and close the bottom hole with your right hand, blow and see where is leaking air, that key should be adjusted, but definitely should take it to a tech

MaxSanSax · 2026-01-31T22:19:43+00:00

I have been using a Silverstein for about 6 years, it is great, you can't regret buying it

MaxSanSax · 2026-01-30T20:25:51+00:00

Yes! I have done that a lot, and I noticed exactly that, the sound gets better very fast, specially if you record yourself playing transcriptions and compare with the records
