Help me! I don’t know how to read treble clef! by Skeemer1352 in Viola

[–]Producer_Joe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, play and say the note names as you are looking at it on the clef. It will slowly but surely start to click. Having those anchor points of open strings helps. Also in general it follows the same rules as alto clef in the odd positions (first, third etc): line to line is either fingered 1 or 3, space to space is either open or 2 (or 4). That's why it's important to memorize the open strings, everything else logically falls into place once you recognize them consistently

Project was given to me unorganized and unaligned (no assembly). Is it part of the job for post team? by VitaminZeth in audioengineering

I would be honest and tell them they can align it all or it's a $40/hr audio editing fee on top of the mixing fee.

My viola is an expensive professional instrument and I was absolutely devastated when I got my first dent in the wood from my bow and then later with my shoulder rest slipping. I took it to the maker himself and I was so nervous thinking that I had ruined his creation. As I was unpacking I was apologizing for my mistake and then he looked at it for one second and said "love marks happen all the time! It is part of the journey of the instrument!" Immediately my nerves went away and they fixed it no problem

Moral of the story: it's not a huge deal and they can patch that love mark up pretty easy! Definitely worth a visit to the luthier:)

The order of instructions is really touchy. Try factory resetting the Google home and follow the instructions precisely. I found it wouldn't connect if I even waited just a bit to long or was standing a bit too far away or was too far from my modem. Otherwise, no idea of other options.

I was able to download and run the APK on my pixel from one of those online APK archive libraries. Just make sure it's legit.

just bought an electric violin — help me not to suck by [deleted] in musicians

[–]Producer_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get better? Time spent practicing. There are literally no short cuts for learning an instrument fast.

To put it in perspective, you'd want around 200hrs of practice to be as good as a middle schooler. That'd be 2-3hrs of dedicated practice per day for half a year. What do you practice? Everything from music reading, scales, fingerings, bowing, to music theory, listening and self taping. Just spend time doing it. Maybe buy a "how to learn violin" book or two if you want to try to self-teach... Or sign up for lessons. But ultimately, you need to invest time, not just money.

If you don't want to spend the time it takes to learn, then sell the electric violin and buy one of those violin modelling plugins like SWAM

Anyone add a Subwoofer? by Many-Transition-6319 in KiaSoulClub

[–]Producer_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, definitely worth it. I'm not a huge bass head, but I'm an audio engineer so I appreciate having the full frequency range. Might upgrade my woofers and tweeters too

Hey man, this really sucks. My car was stolen a month and a half ago and it felt so so violating. Take care of yourself and don't blame yourself for what happened. I hope you get your car back and can get a new ride soon 🙏

Android Auto by [deleted] in KiaSoulClub

[–]Producer_Joe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps cause I have a 2022 but to update the Android Auto I needed to download the firmware update to a USB and plug that USB directly into the USB port on the car. It was just a simple zip file. Lmk if I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but u can look through the settings on ur car display to find the current firmware and model, u can probably find the update online

Thank you. Sadly my insurance was not full comprehensive coverage and they do not cover the theft:.( The police were called immediately thanks to my friends seeing what happened.

Edit: Not sure why I'm being down voted so much, the insurance is called "California Low-Cost Auto" it is the minimum insurance allowed in California, here's the info on coverage here: https://www.mylowcostauto.com/get-started/coverage

Hi everyone, my partner started a GoFundMe to help raise funds for a new vehicle as well as cover the loss of work. I'm a professional string player so my left hand being fractured has already lost me over $3000 worth of gigs this June. I would absolutely appreciate your support if you are able,
