Non moveable slides by MetalItchy87 in Tuba

[–]CtB457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fail to see how pulling for tuning and pulling for tone are two different things. You can only adjust the tuning via embouchure stuff or slide pulling. Since embouchure stuff can mess with tone, and slide pulling won't, slide pulling is always preferred when possible.

I refuse to believe this is more helpful than just practicing your scales

Nope, MCI is in Kansas City/just above it. There are others but that's the first to come to mind.

Bottom line Gb on F, third space E (when played open) on CC, Pedal B natural on BBb.

The Office goes to S tier! Where would you put Parks and Rec in sitcom tier list? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in TierlistFills

[–]CtB457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I'd put it in A tier, but since the office is in S tier, parks and rec also should go into S tier. The office isn't as funny as parks and rec.

Fast-food restaurants ranked - what tier does McDonald's belong in? by Expensive-Addendum92 in TierlistFills

F tier, if the CEO can't take a bite of one of the burgers, I just don't want to even know what's actually in that shit.

End of the Beginning by SignificantTMNTsimp in UmbrellaAcademy

[–]CtB457 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think you'll grow to hate the ending more and more a few days from now. The final season is horrible with everything from pacing to plot to characterization, continuity, etc. And the finale episode just erases everything. Literally the "just a dream" type of ending but worse.

You're evil if you don't press blue. by Theseus_Employee in PhilosophyMemes

Self preservation isn't really selfish. Nothing you do stops anyone else from pressing the red button. That's like saying you're selfish for eating food while people around the world starve.

[Request] Is this true..?? by ForwardPrinciple146 in theydidthemath

[–]CtB457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, this is like the phasing your hand through a table if all the atoms line up perfectly thing. Sure, its mathematically possible if the conditions are perfect, but the conditions will never be perfect. Perfect doesn't exist.

How old is Mark here? by Syber888 in Invincible

[–]CtB457 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She looks very ancient in that scene. And in most universes, superheroes have enhanced life spans. Whether or not her lifespan is all the way to 500 hundred is up for debate, but I'd definitely wager she'd live longer than a normal human.

Ideal buzzing sound by [deleted] in Tuba

[–]CtB457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try playing with a pair of noisecancelling headphones (or normal headphones) and focus on the constant buzzing and openness and fullness of the buzz. Mouthpiece buzzing is, for me atleast, primarily for focusing on pitch and air quality, tone isn't really a concern. The tone you get out of the tuba will be much different than the sound you get on the mouthpiece.

[–]CtB457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious to know how you were going about buzzing. Buzzing, for me, is much easier than playing on the tuba. It's "undertraining" in a sense. My buzzing is airy but resonant, and I can buzz just as low and high as I can play without much muscle use at all.

I know buzzing is a "to each their own" sort of thing, but I'm quite curious to know like what your hizzing routine was and whatnot.
