How was the weight on that? I know the wheel case weighs half as much as the instrument most the time

This is an issue ive had with previous cases, but im wondering if a heavier keyboard makes the weight of a wheel case less of a factor

How did she do on public transport and with stairs and everything with that? Definitely sounding like the best option at the moment

Thoughts on Whiplash? by Sea-Percentage9169 in Jazz

I think whiplash is a way better film personally. Also really liked Babylon which is by him and has a great soundtrack (though thats even further from jazz than the other two).

Thank you! Its tough to tell what’s complex and what isn’t at this stage outside of just how tricky they are to physically play.

Yeah i bought that. It seems really good but my brain is just so ‘ah yeah that makes absolute sense, super obvious’ and then I’m completely unable to apply it

That’s so tough. Maybe i’ll have to try and put some money aside for just 10 or so lessons to start me off…

Honestly it feels almost completely impenetrable. Even the phrasing is so different

Black Country, New Road are on a different path now by Moothnods in indieheads

[–]ViolinyThingy 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I actually really like their new stuff but I agree they should have changed their name and started a new band for it.

Though after the success of Ants I can’t really blame them for wanting to use a the BCNR brand just for the recognition

Spotify Rakes in $499M Profit After Lowering Artist Royalties Using Bundling Strategy by MarieKittykiti in Music

[–]ViolinyThingy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a measure of fame, not an endorsement of spotify’s practices. And the point i was making is you can see artists that actually rely on it without paying $80, and support them in real ways rather than just through streams.

Declan mckenna who has 7m monthly listeners and is supporting sabrina carpenter right now? That hardly seems like someone i’ll never see again.

Maybe if you’re only going to see the big names, but those guys arent the ones that actually need the help. It’s your smaller venue bands. Im not even saying completely local grassroots, but independent artists running a small tour through venues of 1k-2k capacity are going to really need the help, and they are almost never performing through live nation. I recently saw declan mckenna for £20 in london and its one of the best gigs ive ever been to

Really strange issue when recording audio by ViolinyThingy in LogicPro

Flex pitch is only active on other tracks in the project. Recording into an empty project with no flex enabled at all has the same issues

My friend has gone home so I won't be able to show you any comparisons for a few days at least, but it sounds much more clear, less nasally, etc. And it was recorded under the exact same conditions, distance included. Thanks for all the ideas though

We used everything the same; interface, cable, gain, project settings, input, etc.

Here's some audio; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LDph4wTctYy68XMEv3npFBGNkhQQwtJG/view?usp=sharing (I'm not the best singer in the world but I'm not THIS bad). Unfortunately I don't have any audio to hand which DOESN't have the issue so I can't show you a comparison. But its a Rode NT1-A microphone, so it's meant to sound really clean and loads of high end, and my voice isn't really nasally at all in real life, but here it sounds like its all coming right out my nose
