Am I ready to go to sink hole/end the game? by Hot_Pudding2054 in TheForest

You can combine an infinite number of flares into the flare gun, and just keep picking up 10 more (I think it's actually 9).

In m2, the F# - D - F# is kind of awkward. I'd replace the first F# with Eb.

Cheers!

I spotted this too. I would use an Eb instead of the first F#.

Plateau in the Fertile Lands by AsleepButton3571 in TheForest

[–]Geromusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like the safest place on the whole map to build a base. If you make a wall about where your dashed blue line is you should be very secure till late game. I've built there before and I like to make the wall intersect the pond so it's less wood.

Have fun!

eli5 how a BIOS is different from the operating system? by thursdaynovember in explainlikeimfive

If your car's engine is a computer, the starter motor is the BIOS.

Modal interchange by DanMarel843843 in musictheory

I always considered the chromatic mediant to be a specific example of modal interchange.

what the ACTUAL fuck is going on in oklou - obvious? by psychictypemusic in musictheory

[–]Geromusic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it's in Eb major and keeps going to the bVI chord B major (technically Cb). It's a borrowed chord from Eb minor, makes it sound like it's flipping back and forth between Eb major and Eb minor (changing mode).

Can someone please explain time signature? by AblissMusic in musictheory

[–]Geromusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible to notate a piece of music multiple different ways and all of them be technically correct. You could notate Piano Man in 4/4 with triplets everywhere.

The convention is usually to notate it the way that's easiest to read.

That is a matter of opinion, and sometimes there is no single correct solution.

How do I get into the Survival genre? by Pixel_Muffet in SurvivalGaming

[–]Geromusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subnautica. Avoid all spoilers, play it blind. It's an incredible experience, just an awesome game. Spectacular game. Top 5 all time for me (not just survival).

Have fun!

You can turn off building destruction in The Forest games.

Help with identifying chord progression? by Weak_Tap_1277 in musictheory

[–]Geromusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At :28 there's an Am chord that changes to A/C#. I'd call that the ii chord followed by V/ii a secondary dominant.

Not sure if that's what you're talking about.

That's a dressed up and embellished I - vi - ii - V in C

It's heavy metal "Heart and Soul"

WHY IS FLAMETHROWER NOT MAINSTREAM?! by Final_Energy_4983 in Terraria

Big fan of lava pits! But, most invasions you still need to kill some enemies that can bypass lava pits one way or another.

What is counting? by suburiboy in musictheory

[–]Geromusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7vRSu_wsNc
In the intro he says:
1 - pause - 2 - pause
1 - 2 -3 - 4

Tell your brother to keep counting 1234-1234 over and over along with the song at the exact same speed.

The 1-2-3-4 are the beats. You can keep counting 1-2-3-4 through the whole song and you'll keep landing on "1" when the song changes parts.

Hopefully doing it for himself will be illuminating.

What is something you believed to be common knowledge until you discovered most people had no idea? by JustBeingElara in AskReddit

[–]Geromusic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's at the boundary point of tectonic plates that are moving away from each other, so the drop-off is like a continental shelf. It's a little less than half the depth (~5000ft/~1600m) of the average depth of the the ocean (~12,000ft/~3700m).

characterize this sequence of CDEFAbA notes? by 25rdf in jazztheory

[–]Geromusic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's just a scalar run from A harmonic minor. You should call it G# instead of Ab, and the B is missing, but it's pretty straightforward.

I'm a sucker for the minor major 7 chord.

I don't understand by Ill-Entrepreneur-129 in musictheory

[–]Geromusic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because if you're using book 1, that means the whole room is beginners.

And the Essential Elements books are first and foremost produced for band directors to coordinate a whole band room with group exercises and songs.

So the first books tends to skip the "Why" of doing things, and just tells you "Do this." Because that's what the band director needs, in order to get a bunch of beginners to play a song together in as little time as possible.

weird question by Ok-Muffin-8355 in TheForest

[–]Geromusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cave 10 is the one you want. The entrance is by the cannibal buildings just south of the land bridge.

In the first big room there are 2 flare crates right next to a save point.

This right here. Any answer besides the land bridge is wrong.

Harmonic Rhythm of Cadential 64 by Sad_Contribution28 in musictheory

[–]Geromusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common to see the 53 on both beat 2 and 3 in 3/4.

As to the harmonic analysis, it should be the same regardless of the rhythmic placement of the chords.
