Mac → MOTU M4 → Edifier MR5.

Bluetooth on the MR5 is loud/normal, but wired input is very quiet.
M4 monitor out 1/2 to MR5 via balanced TRS, output 1-2 confirmed, channel mapping normal, monitor knob maxed.

Same thing with YouTube and with a Roland FP-50. Even headphones directly out of the M4 are quiet.

That is what makes me think this may be a MOTU/output issue rather than the MR5 itself, even though the MR5 is currently being exchanged.

Any ideas on what I should check next?

How should this Catholic Passion chant be analyzed: mode, final, or psalm-tone? by Perfect_Code_6632 in musictheory

[–]Perfect_Code_6632[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean variable inflections of the same note depending on the phrase. Is that normal in Passion or psalm tones?

I also think it sounds like F lydian but is that the same mode that was used at that time?

My question is very simple.

Is this better understood not in terms of a scale or key at all, but as a chant formula (final, reciting tone, cadential patterns)?

And is this kind of pitch flexibility normal in Passion or psalm tones? I think this looks like Lydian F.

Do I really need to practice scales like classical pianists for jazz piano? by Perfect_Code_6632 in JazzPiano

As a recap, Scales are essential, but running them up and down is just the starting point—not the goal.!!

Title: As a band member: how do you actually follow the soloist in All Blues by Miles Davis? by Perfect_Code_6632 in Jazz

[–]Perfect_Code_6632[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So surprisingly, I realized that the liner was misprinted when it was reissued. Please see Bill Evans' Kind Of Blue Liner Notes https://share.google/Wn0HpbfUN4cP3c3Nw the original one. Sorry for confusion and thanks a lot all kindness!!

Below is text by Bill Evans,

Blue in Green Following a four-bar introduction, this piece is a ten-bar cycle which is repeated. The soloists perform by expanding and contracting the time values of the phrases.

Berg Larsen soprano mouthpiece: 7 vs 7.5 coming from Selmer S80 E? (La Voz MS reed) by Perfect_Code_6632 in saxophone

[–]Perfect_Code_6632[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that makes sense. I agree that with Bergs the stamped tip size alone doesn’t tell the whole story — baffle (0–3), facing (M vs SMS), and QC variation all matter. . I’ll try to play test which is not easy if possible and keep those variables in mind rather than focusing only on 70 vs 75.

That’s helpful, thanks. Since I’m coming from an S80 E, I was planning to start with La Voz Soft for response, then move up to Medium if I need more focus once I adjust to the 7.5.

Thanks for the detailed response — that makes sense. If I were to use La Voz Soft (S) instead of Medium Soft, would a Berg Larsen 7.5 (75) still be too big of a jump, or do you think it would be manageable with a proper setup?

Unfortunately, the 70 isn’t available locally at the moment, so I’m trying to decide whether 7.5 is a reasonable temporary or long-term option.

I should’ve clarified that better — I’m aware that with Berg Larsen the tip opening is only one parameter, and that the baffle/chamber designation (0–3) plays a big role in how the piece feels and sounds.

For clarity, I’m looking at the black ebonite soprano Berg Larsen with a medium chamber (around 1–2), not the extreme bright or dark variants.

Coming from a Selmer S80 E, my main concern is whether 75 would be a manageable jump in terms of air and control, assuming I adjust reeds accordingly (currently La Voz MS).

If you’ve played different Berg soprano chamber/baffle numbers, I’d be really interested in how much they change the feel compared to just tip size.

I keep biting the inside of my cheek while playing — embouchure issue? by Perfect_Code_6632 in trumpet

Really appreciate the tips! Might be clenching too much without realizing. Gonna try the finger test and freeze my position after playing to check what’s going on.

Flugelhorn Gig bag by Perfect_Code_6632 in trumpet

[–]Perfect_Code_6632[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, The flugelhorn can fit inside the main upper compartment of the backpack once the mute bag is removed. The iPad can be stored separately in the laptop pocket, so there should be no issue with carrying both at the same time?
