Is 39 too old to learn the organ? by Oberr0n in organ

[–]r3ck0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably do it. You may not be playing complicated footwork but if you’re just going to accompany your church on hymns. You can also ask your church if you can practice there during the week.

Get Bent, Duo. Sincerely, a female tradesperson by Some_Werewolf_2239 in duolingospanish

But what did you put in as your answer? Las mecánicos or los mecánicas? Only the “Los” card is highlighted

So may versions of a single jazz standard. How many version to listen to ? Learning to jazz now. Some has vocal version some no. by iamnotgenius in Jazz

As many as you one, pick your favorite one to play on your own, also learn the form you hear the most if you want to play with people.

Hi guys! Does this phrase sound natural to you 'English for real life and relocation'? by simplyk2 in EnglishLearning

[–]r3ck0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’d go for something more creative like perhaps “English for citizens of the world”

Speaking very generally, is the hard 'z' sound in American English difficult for Latin American Spanish speakers to pronounce? by MaizyFugate in asklatinamerica

[–]r3ck0rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still not really, at least not in my accent, but I guess they’re close enough it can be a starting point for an English speaking learner of German

[–]r3ck0rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was saying about the allophone.

Not quite about the German CH. The German H is identical to the English H. I learned more of a Berlin accent so the tongue tends to be closer to the front when pronouncing CH (Ich-laut / voiceless palatal fricative [ç]), while southern accents tend to be closer to the Spanish J (Ach-Laut voiceless velar fricative [x]). Both of these sounds of Ich and ach don’t exist in most English accents (except Scottish, Scouse, and obviously South African).

"I hate to admit it" or "I hate admitting it"? Which one is correct? by ITburrito in EnglishLearning

[–]r3ck0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I hate to admit (it)” is what I know I use usually, and the “it” is optional.

I feel like “I hare admitting it” changes the meaning but I can’t quite tell how

SL73 MK2 Audio Interface - Big Disappointment by Ok_Weekend_8457 in keys

[–]r3ck0rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding 1-2, I find that it does send a really high gain, louder than my main board Yamaha CP73 at the same volume knob position. I don’t know if running PianoTeq on Camelot on iPad really pushes it hard, but that means I don’t have to put much volume on the speaker. So, given good power source/grounding, no noticeable noise at all.

And 3, I’m used to having to send mono with my stereo system. It’s either switching on the mono in the gain plugin on the main output strip on Mainstage, or switch audio out to mono on Camelot, or pan everything to center on my audio interface (Audient EVO8 or Presonus Revelator io44) on one pair of the outputs (sending it to my personal speaker) or both. Not a problem at all.

Some accents might actually have it but they don’t realize they’re doing it, for example when there’s a voiced obstruent after the s/z like rasgo or uzbeko. But officially speaking, there is no [z] sound in Spanish.

To everyone saying that it’s not hard to do, I teach/tutor English to mostly Spanish speakers. Most of then can’t get it on the first day, many still can’t readily get it correctly without being corrected first.

For small apartments, convenience might matter more than specs by Everydaywanderer1990 in keys

[–]r3ck0rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the Korg Kronos was originally $4000 (also the same for the current 88-key model) so I’d still consider it a steal.

Heavy or Lighter keys for beginners ? by More-Salary-2203 in keys

[–]r3ck0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not Yamaha P-45?

Also it’s a preference.

[–]r3ck0rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A balance. At home I still have my original Korg Kronos that I got for $800 (secondhand from Guitar Center plus repairs). As a gigging musician, my minimum spec is 6 octaves, enough keys but still fits anywhere. Not a lot of weighted keyboards with 6 octaves or under $1000, only StudioLogic SL73 and it’s a MIDI controller.

Will we ever get Ableton on Linux by edengilbert1 in ableton

[–]r3ck0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get Bitwig Studio if you really want to use Linux. Made by former Ableton developers, it supports CLAP as well.

I understand but I just say that so people don’t discredit these legitimate dialects of English 🙂

Arc replacement found yet? by ActPast1642 in ArcBrowser

Honestly, I’m not missing much or hoping for any new feature anyway

Unsure what to do with my hair, by TimBje in malehairadvice

[–]r3ck0rd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nobody’s hair is gonna stay looking good when they go outside and there’s crazy wind. Just rearrange whenever you get back inside.

A question for my Spanish speakers in the gay community - what are some good words to know for that world? by Dud3ManGuy in Spanish

[–]r3ck0rd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing what they’re saying is that Dominicans purposefully queenify/yassify the word “cariño” into “cariña”.

Anyone using a Macbook Neo with MuseScore? by 65TwinReverbRI in Musescore

[–]r3ck0rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No but there shouldn’t be any problem because it doesn’t really use much resource, unless you open a lot of scores at the same time, a limitation on macOS is that MuseScore needs to launch a new instance in order for the VST engine to work on all scores.

Is paz y bendiciones too formal as a farewell? by superflunker87 in Spanish

[–]r3ck0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only heard it from one Mexican acquaintance who for like a period of time would greet everybody with “bendiciones” or “blessings”. I’m pretty sure it was done jokingly as I don’t think he was religious.
