I always prefer to suggest that people research something and try new things with appropriate expectations. It's just one of those instrument that I don't ever bother to emulate, gotta have the real thing. Is likely to get a lot of people close with a lot less effort.įor me, "close" on sax just doesn't sound good at all. There is a whole world of music being made by people who are average players that people enjoy. It's been awhile but we had plenty of students in high school band that had been playing for a few years who were great players.

There's a reason musicians devote themselves to a single instrument and develop their skills over a lifetime.Īssuming you wanna be a professional player sure, but there's a gigantic ocean of skill in between that and an amateur player and you don't need to dedicate you life to the instrument to play good music with it. I have previous experience with brass wind instruments so breathing and embouchure were something I knew. I picked up sax two years ago and within the first year I was playing it in a band. If your goal is to reproduce actual instrument sounds, you need to limit what you do on the VST. Certainly, a VST doesn't constrain things the same way an actual instrument does plenty of stuff is possible that wouldn't be on the actual instrument. The fact that bad (and/or unrealistic) articulations are possible does not mean that good (i.e. If there are articulations you hear done on a VST that sound bad to you, don't do them. I'm not sure why anyone expects you could get high quality sax sounds from a VST without using a breath controller, and even then it will take time to develop technique, though much easier than playing an actual woodwind instrument. Using something like Swam VST, on the other hand, is likely to get a lot of people close with a lot less effort. There's a reason musicians devote themselves to a single instrument and develop their skills over a lifetime. If you think you can pick up a cheap sax and quickly develop an embouchure, breath control, and technique that lets you produce high quality sax playing, I expect you're mistaken.
