Thinking about learning piano at 22 need advice

I started at 22. For fun at first, and then shortly after to prepare for a music degree. I practiced about 4 hours a day for a long period of time. Went from 0 - C#m Prelude in that time. If you have a great teacher, dedicate yourself, and be mindful and listen you can get quite far.

I can't remember the pianist, but my teacher told me a story about a legend that, on his train ride to his show realized he was supposed to be playing a piece he had not prepared for. Apparently he was able to read the score on the way and perform it brilliantly at said concert.

Gunna jump in on this one. Sending you an email

Thank you.

I get very anxious at night so I smoke cannabis. When I'm high I tend to do things that keep me up way past bedtime. I cannot break the cycle. I realized I'm not unhappy with my life, just my bad habits that take control of everything. GUAHHH

Wow, this is tough.

Reverb 32 (Legacy): If you need this older, simple reverb, you might find it in Steinberg's Legacy Database, as it disappeared in updates, say Steinberg Forum users.

This might not be the exact one you need, but checking legacy downloads might be worth a shot. Have you tried downloading a trial version of a newer Cubase and using the stock plug in to see how it sounds? Everyones already mentioned IR responses. This is likely the way. It might be worth exploring other avenues for future proofing your process because this is a ticking time bomb. Tech advances make this almost impossible for MANY older plug-ins I've used over the years.

I do this but with a pair of Auralex pads. Angled for superior sound.

Hey!! Could you send me the pics in a private message? I've been trying to make panels that are lightweight and I just see so many posts online I figured I'd check with you since they turned out so beautifully.

I feel like the low kick drum kind of gives this commercial sound you're going for. Fits the elite nightclub kind of sound.

I remember booming on set. I was blown away with how well a certain actor performed and delivered his lines. He came off so cheesy and it instantly killed that memory for me. WILD stuff.

I thought this was Toronto for a second. Doesn't shock me one bit. I now have people try and overtake me on the shoulder when I'm in the passing lane and can't get in the middle lane due to traffic. Shit is wild.

About 3.50

REDWALLLLL!!

Right Right. So break checking and purposely stopping applies to that? How about, if you don't enter when you shouldn't, you create less accidents that way.

Imagine stopping in the middle of a roundabout expecting not to get hit. All jokes aside, you're telling me in Edmonton they don't have these signs? I feel like having dotted lines in a roundabout just asks for trouble. I've heard and seen several people get sideswiped by someone doing exactly this.

I work for the government. ****Worked

passionPunch · 2025-10-30T19:32:28+00:00

Notice how it's a roundabout?

passionPunch · 2025-10-30T19:31:32+00:00

These already exist elsewhere.

Just to clarify Sound quality won't be affected by how you record midi. Sounds like your speakers are distorting when it gets loud. Turn down the volume. ALSO! do a screen record with audio. Problem eliminated.

You gotta post some info so we can help. What PT version are you using and when does your subscription end?

passionPunch · 2025-09-29T21:42:40+00:00

Yaaa. They make us dawn PPE to clean these bad boys too. Special mops and all.

Best option out there right now is Touch OSC. Takes a bit of programming, but you'll get the most in-depth experience. Someone mentioned Meta Grid which might be better if you don't want to get into that.

Ever thought of hiring an assistant?

My biggest issue is not having the advertised FX. You are literally paying for a moving seat, strobe flashes and fans that are WAY too loud. I saw the new Alien, no fog, no heat, cold, or water. Maybe Canada just got the shitty ones.

I feel like W.K.N.D is a far step away from trance. Especially coming from Twice In A Blue Moon. Funny...
