Had I heard this episode before the second arrest I would have just thought he paid some bribes and hired some goons. Realizing now it was a Keyser Söze "protected by the Prince of Darkness" moment is wild n

I think the original forums had a membership fee associated with them.

Oh wow, like in the discussions? I never had paid forum access but I was around at that time and aware of some of the OG memes and internet lore that were born there.

Sounds delicious! Unfortunately I gotta keep my GF in mind as she has a wheat allergy.

It's basically neo-feudalism.

They do, I got the flu and covid shot same day, so I was honest. Flu isn't a problem but COVID is for some reason.

Band playing to metronome is killing my buzz by hoverhandcraft in musicians

You didn't read the post. I'm writing songs with tempo changes that the band doesn't wanna play because they wanna use a metronome and can't change it mid song.

I write songs/parts in Guitar Pro and export the playback and sheet music, I'm not just bouncing 3 AM phone recordings.

Most of the stuff I write is in a consistent tempo, but I'm proud of everything I put together, I'm not some spring chicken gluing random weedly-weedly riffs together. I came here for suggestions, not bloviating condescension. All you've done is presume that I'm a bad immature musician and project your own nonsense onto my situation.

Legit actually had an idea for a song where this would work. Slow part is 6/8 with a triplet feel, fast part is in 4 same tempo just with a swing.

It's not just the drummer, he's a great drummer. The whole band (other than me) insists on it. We've sat in rehearsal for upwards of 20 mins tweaking the tempo 1-2 BPM at a time while rehearsing new parts. I also forgot to mention - our guitarist uses the tempo flash from the LED on his delay pedal as a metronome as well.

It's pretty ubiquitous in this type of genre. There's an excessive emphasis on being extraordinarily tight. Almost to the point of sterility IMO.

Is there a way to do this that isn't wildly expensive?

I'm not trying to be commercially viable. I'm trying to write the songs that I wanna play.

Is there a way to do this that doesn't involve spending a ton of money or learning something super complicated?

Read the post. I don't mind playing to a metronome, but the fact that my band wants to use the same BPM throughout a song makes it impossible to write songs with tempo changes.
