  1. I really like how Frank Gambale tunes it. He gets the nice piano chord voicings.
  2. I just watched the Le Sserafim performance and it looked fine to me. Audience was on fire singing along and loving it.
  3. Are these cds for pressing or writing? I remember consumers could buy these extremely cheap spindles of blank CD-R and CD-RW, but to my knowledge these aren’t the quality, lifetime, and reliability that a “pressed” audio CD would have. So how do smaller bands these days produce their own CD? I remember in the past they would send the digital files to a pressing house but not sure if this is still done or they just purchase a stack of CD-Rs and do it themselves?
  4. I might hold off for the Roland KC-135 decimated Strato-Tanker. 4 Speakers @ 16,000 W. each stereo chorus. Built in 720 degree ring modulator that surpasses any 360 degree unit by a factor of two. They modulate the base band using Vestigial Sideband Modulation, thereby achieving a lower radiation take-off angle to the girls in the front row with no extra DSP required!!
  5. Can you be less secretive? Is it Al DiMeola? Al pioneered the concept of drawing in unsuspecting older musicians to pay for a home made Italian Meal and 1-1 guitar lesson and demonstration. I have heard that he is being brought up on charges in The Netherlands for violating the Human Rights of Googlers who were talked down from suicide after Al saying he hates Major Chords in response to a Google Employee in Google Talks Online. He may have gone into hiding. If this is all true I can see why you think Rick is up to no good.
  6. I think this is pretty well deserved. He's making around $129.99 a game as Mr. Irrelevant, so it's sort of a no-brainer that they are going to compensate him for getting to the playoffs and the SB two years running. No one gets worse in the history of he game with that type of performance. See the video below for "What could possibly Go wrong" with Brock. A full off season plan has been installed to ensure he is successful:
  7. One think about Beato is that I truly believe his interviews are mostly driven by his own curiosity, which is what I like. He asks a lot of questions I would ask. A lot of these people are his heros, which makes it difficult to not appear kissing someone's feet. I mean where do you start when Pat Metheny or Sting agrees to sit down with you. I always thought Pat was avoiding Rick (Rick lamented not being able to get him) for years before they hooked up because of possible incorrect assumptions Rick had made out him in prior videos. So when Pat tells Rick that *he* is honored to sit down with him and loves his channel, I'm like "WHOA". THAT'S SOME DEEP PRAISE, from PM, who isn't prone to giving praise to ANYONE not at the top of their game. If you're really objectively or subjectively judging quality of interviews, I'd love to hear why you think that the existing and prior media establishment is so great compared to Rick? To me they are almost always a combination of superficial dumbed down information and triteness designed to elicit some sort of news snippet by someone who typically shuts down the press. And their editor typically limits their word count or video time. And don't point me to the guys who have been fired by the press and are trying to re-create their deal on a podcast to pay their rent like Boboto-TopJob did last month. So tell me where should I go for 2024 interviews that you will vouch for and support for both quality and quantity of people?
  8. A bad bowler has a lower average than a good bowler (and final score in a competition) - it's a completely objective sport. A bad musician often has much better objective metrics (e.g. sales) than a good musician.
  9. This ability could be used to earn a living if nothing else in transcribing. I'm sure Rick uses him to help on most of his analysis videos.
  10. But don't you WANT to spend money on something that deteriorates every time you play it? It's worse. You have to multiply your human ear and perceptual train of degradation with the vinyl degradation. Given this, if your listening medium is streaming, your perceptual degradation must factor into a yearly depreciation of musical deployment relative to other assets you are outlaying. Your kids may be asking behind your back, "Why is Dad spending so much on music streaming when we should be preserving his estate!?!?"
  11. So, you’re agreeing with the POV that 10dB is double audible loudness…which is the spec that makes the most sense to me as well. If so, would +20dB be triple the original volume, or double the +10 dB boost (4x original volume)? Or…? Yes! Too many units flying around here. Don't talk about 3dB increase in loudness! dB calculations are only mathematically relevant to voltages and power. Power increase of P2 to P1: dB = 10 log (P2 / P1) Voltage (intensity) increase from V2 to V1: dB = 10 log (P2 / P1) = 10 log ((V2^2 /R ) / V1^2 / R) ) = 20 log (V2 / V1) Loudness: Empirically 2x Loudness = +10db Power = +20dB Voltage. So to your question: +20 dB power would be 2x ( 2x ) = 4x loudness To quote Ed McMahon, "You Are Correct, Sir". (with all caveats in mind on perceptive differences and frequency dependent, but total spectral average).
  12. I just had this conversation with my doctor. He knows what I did for a living but he confessed to me that he just didn't "get" music. He can't tell one note from another and while he can appreciate that some level of skill is necessary to play an instrument, he can't tell a good player from a bad one. I can't fathom that, but these people exist. Yes, it's a thing. Statistically, 28% of all people have no sense of humor as well (38% in Nashville) according to psychologists. It's what causes threads to get deleted here every so often.
  13. Yeah, sorry, it's ingrained in my soul visiting La Jolla year after year to watch the pre-season practices. It'll always be SD, just like StL, Bal, Oak, etc etc. Too bad the NFL doesn't make a team change their mascot when they move away from their hometown. And vice versa when NFL requires them to change their name, they should be required to move cities by the rest of the League. They would never move or rename if this was a rule. People being so triggered when someone mis-names them is the proof. It's a sick system all the way around, IMO
  14. Ahh, I think I get it. You like how it sounded but you don't like the way he achieved or described it. Sometimes people approximate things for simplicity to achieve a good practical result, if I get what you are saying.
