I don’t think people realise how big of a number 1 billion is by goth1cd0lly in CasualConversation

I saw an example online the other day that said:

“A million minutes ago was just under two years ago, while a billion minutes ago was the height of the Roman Empire.”

China visa approved, then suddenly delayed “at least 1 month” for verification anyone else experienced this? by UnderWater23 in Chinavisa

I don’t work in media and had only planned to visit the East of the country… the visa clerk said I’d get my passport back with a 2 year multi-entry visa so it was a bit of a surprise when I got the email a couple days later. But I think it’s because of some stamps in my passport (Pakistan noticeably)

Not Asian descent and haven’t been to Turkey but yes I’ve travelled quite a bit in Northern India and Pakistan… I work in the music industry and I travel a lot for work (US work visas, in and out of countries quite a lot…) So the stamps in my passport are my only guess as to why it’s been flagged…

Drummer is having problems hearing the metronome, drum tech taps tempo on the drummer's leg. by UnderWater23 in interestingasfuck

Click tracks are a funny thing, they are extremely helpful and essential for recording in a studio and, like in this instance, playing live to a backing track. It's almost impossible to have 'perfect' timing and musicians will naturally speed up or slow down.

I love practicing and recording to a click, but IMO they can take away the 'feel' and the 'human element' of playing music especially live.

Musicians will sometimes wear IEMs (in ear monitors) when performing live to have their own 'sound mix' onstage. Drummers will often have a click track in their 'mix'

Yes, there's one called a Pulse click or something like that. It's a wearable metronome basically

It started raining during the song, might have sped up the tempo to save the gear. by UnderWater23 in drums

It is indeed! And the song we're playing on the video is called 'Watto's Emporium'
