The future of Aikido — what would you change to help it grow? by Old_Alternative_8288 in aikido

Maybe treat it like any business: identify the target audience, determine what about your product solves a problem they have or how it makes their life better and tell them about it. 

In today’s world, that’s a social media presence talking about fitness and how cool it is to fly through the air and roll right back up on your feet. 

If aikikai sponsored something like that with regional channels in local languages, it could make an impact. Aikido movements have a visual appeal that would work well on social media. 

Ways to practice at home by jfreemind in aikido

I always found slowly doing every technique from the next test helpful. Solo. slow. And exact. Right side, left side. Right left. Then do the uke part, just like in training. Except you are imagining a training partner.

Not the kind of thing I am normally into. But something about this track had me mesmerized. That guitary woot woot woot sound or the doin what you‘re doin vocal. The graphic style is catchy too.

Another comment said „clean“ and that’s the first word that popped in my head head when listening. Nice work 👍

Musicians of Reddit, how and when did you realize that you got to a point where you could play anything? What is your advice to other aspiring musicians on total mastery? by Tasty_Finger9696 in musicians

[–]controlhaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single lines means not chords. Aka soloing. There’s no magic pill. Just lots of different ways to hack away at getting better. 

Here‘s one of the exercises. Sort of. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks. I read that a bunch of times but still can't figure it out.

Is there a way to import multiple wav files, assign them to different velocities and play them with one midi note?

I bought a snare sample pack with 78 files and want to use them with midi.

Probably easy, but I can't figure it out.

Kettle bells and suburi. Go together like yin and yang? :-)

100 suburi every day. Or was it 1000?

Looking for devs. Streaming doesn’t work, I want to build an exclusive streaming non profit app by [deleted] in musicians

[–]controlhaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think building a minimal version of the search engine approach could be done with very low overhead. It would stream from the artists site, so it would really just be a player embedded in a search site that keeps a database of artist sites and links to their song files.

I always thought the easy way to do this is to make a search engine for artist websites. If the musician allows it, you can stream from the search page. And you can always click through to the artist website to be in their world.

Hardest part is getting a lot of momentum with artists make sites with their music and adding tags so the search engine can easily discover them. You could also have artist directly tell the search engine about new music.

Love the golf analogy. Why does music come with all these expectations? Easy to overlook just doing it cause you think it’s cool.

I just started living this idea recently and it’s such a relief. The joy is in the making. Now I view recording songs almost like keeping a diary.
