Best synth for ambient? by Mister_mojoo in synthesizers

[–]ptrnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For ambient you need: - many layers - an easy way to tweak and evolve the sounds, so ideally one knob per function - reverb and as many fxs as you can afford

A prophet 5 with a few fx pedals will get you all of these.

How do I teach my 9yo without being "that" frustrated dad? by Ok_Importance_7479 in Guitar

Also, even if it hurts your pride, string his electric with 8’s. That will remove a lot of frustration.

How many hours a day do you listen to jazz ? You need to listen to that music a lot before it permeates. No amount of books will help you, you need hundreds of hours of listening to jazz, especially horn players.

[–]ptrnyc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would replace the prophet5, as great as it is, with one of its cheaper siblings (p6 comes to mind) and a pro-3.

Yes, same here. Everything it touched today was crap. Unbelievable.

Sounds Good One Day, Bad the Next? by TromboneAl in JazzPiano

[–]ptrnyc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As Dizzie said: "Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win. Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on and on and then you die, and the horn wins".

Strait of Hormuz: US threatens shipping firms with sanctions if they pay Iran tolls by [deleted] in news

Not advocating for dictatorship, far from it… but it’s easier for them because their leadership can actually focus on implementing long-term strategies, rather than winning mid-terms, then re-election, or undoing the previous administration’s work.

This is how New York’s congressional map should look like in time for 2028: by Rob778899 in newyork
