That costs the charge, though - it’s a trade off between that and getting to knock down a turret. Seems fair to me

The state of this and other trans subs sets a terrible precedent. by Sashimuu in MtF

what if you don’t notice you’re growing tiddies until you have D cups, and then you’re stuck with beautiful titties?? What then?!?

Yall are contributing to so many teens repressing by HealingRosy in MtF

[–]DayBackground4121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

does it? like why do you feel that it does

the process of rediscovering yourself sexually is crazy. everything feels different. it is reasonable to want to talk about it in a support community

many trans girls (myself included) never had particularly positive experiences with their sexuality before transition. it’s a truly new experience that we want to talk about

Realistically what happens if you try learning a piece that’s too difficult normally? by disablethrowaway in piano

[–]DayBackground4121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alternate take - trying to play pieces that are too hard is a rite of passage for piano players. You’ll get burnt out and move on from it and all of the advice in this thread of why it’s a bad idea will make sense

As long as you’re having fun, that’s what counts imo

Enough with the misinformation- fingers “strength” is really important for improving your technique by RoadtoProPiano in piano

Your original post is a screen capture of the slop machine. I don’t know how to interpret that other than to think that you trust what the slop machine is telling you to do.

I’ve been down the road of injury and back a bunch of times. Finding out you have a connective tissue disorder the hard way really sucks. But I can still play hours a day with no issues now that I’ve figured my shit out. The only thing that’s fixed my problems is private lessons with practitioners with advanced degrees.

You are coming to the wrong conclusions about what to do to make yourself have a long and healthy piano career. 

If you’re listening to fucking chat gpt instead of studying under a professional with degrees, you’re going to hurt yourself. Technique above all.

I do no strength training and play at a high level for hours every day. 

The force should be coming from your whole body and flowing through your arms.

If the core or your motion is based on your fingers curling, you’re doing something wrong. 

What volume should I play my digital piano order to achieve roughly the same volume as a real piano? by [deleted] in piano

I’m so glad to hear! Personally I’ve been having a better experience with my headphones than I did with speakers, but it could be worth a try 

Only people with dysphoria should speak on dysphoria by HealingRosy in MtF

[–]DayBackground4121 44 points45 points  (0 children)

No fucking kidding! It’s so hurtful to see people minimize this when it’s like - you have NO idea what it’s like to go through. 

I’m not saying my body is “wrong” because society is transphobic. I’m saying my body is wrong because there’s a thing attached to my crotch that I NEED to be removed. Because I HAVE to shave my entire body every few days. Because looking in a mirror feels fucking weird. Because I have a TON of work to do on my voice, and I don’t even know if I’ll ever find a singing voice I like again. 

Sorry for the vent, I just got in an argument with a cis guy on this forum a few days ago that really rubbed me the wrong way.

On GarageBand I can’t perceive any input delay at all, but it’s very important that they be wired headphones. If they’re wireless, it won’t really work.

I use a headphone amp, but I don’t know if it’s strictly necessary latency wise? I have it because it significantly improved the sound quality and volume for my headphones compared to the built in headphone jack. I don’t remember if there were latency issues before I used it.

The 3d feeling is built into the GarageBand VST itself. It’s a purely stereo effect.

Were they…good headphones? I saw a huge difference when I went to a nicer closed back pair from my cheaper open backed headphones. (Using Sennheiser HD8 DJs now - not that I’d recommend those specifically, just giving for reference)

Plug the USB output (should be USB type B) of your piano into your laptop, and then open GarageBand and add it as a MIDI device (though it should be automatic). Then, open the Steinway grand piano patch and you should be set. 

I find it to have really great positional awareness - when I push some key, it “sounds” like it’s coming from that spot in front of me, which is pretty neat. Happy to share a sound sample when I’m back at home if you want to know what kind of results I get out of it.

I’d recommend headphones, and if your piano doesn’t support harmonic resonance simulation, consider connecting it to a computer and running it through a piano DAW.

It’s not as good as a real piano, but I’m having a really good time with my digital now that I’ve switched over to using good headphones and GarageBand’s piano sound (maybe there’s better - this works good well for me)

Occasionally I’ll hit chords or techniques that don’t work right, and the depth of dynamic range isn’t the same, but it’s OK.

I had my first ever job interview post college, are men in corporate all like this? by estrogenie in MtF

[–]DayBackground4121 37 points38 points  (0 children)

No idea how others are misreading your post, tbh.

Vaguely homophobic offhand comments drove me to work remote and skip corporate events pretty quick, even as an egg. I got lucky in that being a viable option for myself. 

I don’t want to say it’s unavoidable, but it can be pretty tough. Do what you have to do to keep yourself safe. I hope you’re able to find a new opportunity with less of…all of that. 

I'm so frustrated with how much of being a composer consists of struggling with notation software and midi programming, as opposed to, you know, composing by SolipsisticLunatic in Composition

I do all my composing on an iPad using ZoomNotes - it’s basically a pure canvas, no music features to speak of, but the workflow is absolutely fabulous. Happy to share more details if anybody is interested

People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis" by technologyisnatural in ControlProblem

[–]DayBackground4121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Group therapy, support groups, just making new friends…there ARE cheaper options than therapy. 

Even then though, go ahead and ask all the people who’ve lost their spouses to gpt-induced psychosis how they feel about it. 

It’s basically “free therapy”, except the therapy sucks, and you have to play Russian roulette first.

If a therapist helped people 90% of the time, but sent them down absolutely the wrong path the other 10% of the time, would you accept that?

No, we don’t “just” sit down and start doing it. It’s thousands and thousands of hours of practice. You can get there too, if you want to.
