A cover for "Yakety Sax" , a.k.a Yakety Axe / The Benny Hill Show theme song.
Yakety sax was composed by James Q. "Spider" Rich and saxophonist Boots Randolph. The song became popular in the 1960s. Guitarist Chet Atkins recorded a guitar version of the song called "Yakety Axe". Atkins and Randolph also recorded joint performances of the song throughout the years.
The song was also was used in various TV shows, such as "The Benny Hill Show" (UK) or "The Sheriff of Hollywood Hills" (Israel)
Another notable performance (also popular here on YouTube) is the one by the André Rieu
orchestra and saxophonist Sanne Mestrom
This HQ cover recording features a saxophone, electric guitar, and piano.
======
The DAW I used for this MIDI remake is Reaper. I used some Kontakt libraries for the Sax, guitars, drums and piano.

![Its a Sin (Pet Shop Boys) - Orchestral Cover [HQ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tMqZtfyhEpE/mqdefault.jpg "Its a Sin (Pet Shop Boys) - Orchestral Cover [HQ]
This is an orchestral cover of one of my favorite songs from the 80s - Its a Sin, by the Pet Shop Boys.
I wondered what it would sound like if the song was performed by a live orchestra / choir, so I made this cover.
The DAW I used for this orchestral MIDI remake is Reaper. I chose epic-style cinematic instruments such as brass instrument (trumpets, horns), strings (violins, viola, cello, deep strings), clarinets, flutes, choir, and percussion instruments (timpani drums, drums, cymbals) .
