Sax Solo Recording - All The Takes That DIDN'T Make It!

Recording a bluesy saxophone solo in my home studio. In this video, I’m recording a soulful blues track that was sent to me for a saxophone solo and fills. I decided to hit record and capture my first time hearing the song, completely by ear. Sometimes that spontaneous first take can give a very special vibe to a solo.

Still, I ended up recording a few more takes to get closer to the solo I was hearing in my head.

This video gives a behind-the-scenes look at how to record a saxophone solo at home, something I do all the time as a session saxophonist. With so much of today’s music production happening remotely, learning how to craft a great sax solo over a pre-recorded track has become an essential skill for modern jazz and pop musicians alike.

I sent the client two different saxophone takes, each with its own approach and vibe.
🎷 Which one do you think fits the song best?
