I don't want to give the wrong impression - I'm more a wannabe player. I can honk out notes, but that's about it. But it's enough that when I try the sax sounds from the libraries I've got on the EWI, they are worlds away from real thing. So I'm impressed when someone can get past that really obvious "fake sax" sound.

PS - get that sax out and play!

I really should focus on getting a bit less awful on the trumpet first.

I'd hoped to convince one of my kids to pick up the sax, but that didn't fly. I think the big problem is that the sax really isn't a quiet instrument. My kids are shy about learning new things, and would rather not have people listen to them practice.

The sax does not lend itself to quiet practice! At least trumpets have mutes. Have you seen what a sax mute looks like?

But thanks for the encouragement!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
