Backing Tracks for Saxophone

Q: Does Jamzone transpose backing tracks for alto and tenor saxophone?

Yes. Open a song, tap the "…" menu, select Change Instrument and choose saxophone. Jamzone applies the correct transposition automatically, so chords are displayed in your instrument's key. You can apply this setting to all your saxophone backing tracks or adjust it song by song.

Q: Can I remove the saxophone from a backing track?

Yes. When the original recording features a saxophone part, mute it in the mixer and play it yourself over the backing track. You can also lower its volume and keep it as a guide while you learn the line.

Q: Can I change the key of a saxophone backing track?

Yes. Transpose any backing track up or down in real time to fit your range, whether you play alto, tenor, soprano or baritone saxophone.

Q: Are saxophone backing tracks good for practicing improvisation?

Yes. Mute the lead instruments, loop the section you want to work on and slow down the tempo. Chord charts scroll in sync with the music, so you always see the harmony you're improvising over.

Q: Can I use Jamzone saxophone backing tracks for live gigs?

Yes. Build your setlists, download them to play offline and control playback with a Bluetooth or MIDI footswitch, so both hands stay on your saxophone.

Take the lead with your saxophone! Jamzone lets you play along with thousands of studio-quality backing tracks. Beginner or advanced, alto or tenor saxophone player, you will never play alone again.

Your custom saxophone backing track

Control the mix of each instrument recorded in studio and build, on the fly, the saxophone backing track that suits you best. Mute the original saxophone part to take over the solo, or keep it low in the mix to learn the line note by note.

Saxophone transposition: backing tracks in your key

The saxophone is a transposing instrument. On an E♭ alto saxophone, a written C sounds as an E♭. On a B♭ tenor or soprano saxophone, it sounds as a B♭. Select your saxophone once in Jamzone and the chord charts of every backing track switch to your key. No more transposing in your head while the music plays.

Key, tempo and loops: practice saxophone your way

Is the song too high for your saxophone's range? Transpose any backing track to another key in real time. Slow down the tempo to work through a tricky saxophone solo, then bring it back up once it's in your fingers. Loop a riff or a chorus of the backing track as many times as you need.
