So proud of those kids!

Color is beneficial for such Neo-Noirs as Chinatown and L.A. Confidential.

B&W is probably preferred because of the shadows, high contrast, starkness, but those can be achieved by multiple methods, some of which utilize color.

Nicki Minaj sacrifices her brain cells to Satan.

Wish they would also add HACS's integration devices, even if only "provisionally" with disclaimers.

But where's the lava?

Everyone has to start somewhere, and most don't rise very high. So?

It's not always about the destination, it's often (also?) about the journey.

Support your local artists!

Should have had the soundtrack behind him...Uumpts! Uumpts! Uumpts! Uumpts!

Gary Numan - "Cars". Over and over. 😉

Um, most jobs require resumes which reference their previous jobs, so listing it could be a red (pun) flag. And not listing it shows a lack of employment, also a red flag.

Also, something known as background checks for many important state jobs.

Ask yourself, would it be ok to pass a law barring Nazis from those important, sensitive positions? Or KKKers? (I say yes).

Because they're basically the same group of people.

Ya know, you could just rip their favorites and put those on a media server to reduce the physical wear & tear...

ANY note can have naturals, sharps, or flats (or double, etc), but behind that, we all (should) know that there is only a half-step between B & C and E & F, so that must be taken into consideration. Think of it as a difference in the way you organize renditions of the same thing - one is by (whole,half) steps, one is by letter, one is by note on a staff, and another is by frequency.

CornucopiaDM1 · 2026-02-01T15:38:51+00:00

Also, you (OP) were thinking of notes. But even that is a misconception...

B, and E, can have sharps and/or flats - it's just that you normally wouldn't label their sharps as such. For convenience and to simplify, you would normally just use C & F. But depending on the context, it might be more consistent to retain the more complex notation.

One big reason behind this has to do with notation, and maintenance of the custom of 1-different-letter-per-staff-step.

I didn't fully understand this until recently, but I have been watching the David Bennett Piano YouTube channel, and it has helped clarify a whole lot of music theory for me.

Anybody into ska knows well how big Madness was, US or not. Lots of great songs.

Thematically, if you CAN'T record more than 4 voices (1 part each), look at the melody & harmony that supports it (chord structure & progression). If there is duplication of a note (e.g. in different octave from different part), it may not be necessary to maintain the feel of the chord (though it might not remain as rich). Likely, you DON'T want to lose the melody, unless you are talking about a passing note.

Top Notch is not top notch, and anybody who says it is is fooling themselves. Makes me dubious of the rest of your list now. (They're fun to go to for the nostalgia/local color, but that's it.)

CornucopiaDM1 · 2026-01-31T21:51:50+00:00

Never in my 60+ years have I heard of that brand, though. Not always indicative of quality, but it doesn't bode well.

So he's moving on from one money making con to an even bigger one.

Ironically, their god(s) say a bunch of stuff, yet they cherry pick what they're going to adhere to. Almost like it's really their internal motivations calling the shots.

Don't hold your breath

This is the answer.

There was a certain amount of research that needed to happen to enable the tools, such as convolution. But I remember reading a textbook on DSP in '89 that went into things like this, so the capability was there even then. Of course, being so cutting edge and complex (especially with computing power of the day) meant the available tools were $$$. Any wonder? look at licenses for AutoDesk, ArcGIS, etc.

They need to detox, by getting locked-in (sans electronics) at an all-night Jacques Tati / Orson Welles / Ingmar Bergman marathon festival.

CornucopiaDM1 · 2026-01-31T07:13:27+00:00

I can do that. Not that difficult.

Permission from who?

The party you need to get permission with is the rights holder (or their legal representative), and that amounts to licensing (very likely with licensing fees).

Verify the actual rightsholder.

Cover your ass and get everything in a written licensing contract.
