  1. Revolutionary thinking right there. Why? Because personally, I think we all have to agree on everything. I'm old. I was born in the 20th century, so that might have something to do with it. If you don't like Roland, move to Poland. My first Roland was the E16 by the way.
  2. Not that I need more pianos, but I'll definitely try it out. Thanks for the heads up! Did you guys record any demos already?
  3. What does 'Paul' think about Behringer"s cloning of vintage synthesizers?
  4. I'd seen the first video before. It's funny because it's true. At this point of my life, I'm the type who plays at 3 or 4 am....except I got a sound proof studio now. I've got kicked out of apartments a few times in the past though. Is that a midi bar? Do you guys know what type it is?
  5. Nice! I saw iConnectivity mio4 on the list. I've never looked into iConnectivity products beyond what I've briefly seen at NAMM, but I always thought their stuff requires computer connection at all times.
  6. There are standalone 5 pin din usb hosts. Something like this maybe? https://kentonuk.com/product/midi-usb-host-mkii/
  7. Daniel Thrasher makes keyboard based humor videos. Every once in a great while, I randomly click on one for a change. I thought this one had some funny moments...especially 1:24 - 1:53.
  8. Going to the next video on YouTube is just ONE click away. You're making things way too complicated for yourself. You make the whole thing about that NEON lighting sound like a rabbit caught in the headlight. Fatal attraction?
  9. There you go! Forget about the color scheme and focus on her energy and accomplishments.
  10. I don't care about those stuff either, but maybe someone's redoing their studio and looking for that kind of inspiration? Also keep in mind that for a niche channel she's got a pretty good size audience in general and by now she has a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't for her channel. I wouldn't be surprised if THIS is her music career altogether. I don't know her so that's just a wild guess.
  11. Exactly! It's also possible that some keyboardists haven't really played enough piano literature that require half pedal on an acoustic piano. That's how one really develops solid pedaling techniques.
  12. Without parody threads the universe would be an extremely ........ place.
  13. Once you file a dispute, the claimant has UP to 30 days to respond. Possible scenarios: 1) They don't take an action at all and 30 days later the claim gets dropped automatically. 2) They agree with the dispute and manually drop the claim....any time within that 30 days period. 3) They disagree and then you receive a strike. At that point, even if you were completely in the right (and you are as you're playing 300 years old pieces!), you can't really get much help from YouTube anymore. It's up to you if you want to lawyer up and file a DMCA. That's my my understanding, but I could be wrong. I've received over 50 claims for 'In The Mix' channel. Sometimes multiple copyright claims for the same video. Only a few disputes (such as the one for The Lark/Glinka) were reviewed by the claimant. The rest went through that 30 days period and expired on their own.
  14. Yes, the copyright claim thing is a fully automated process, but handling disputes isn't. At least now YouTube has a more reasonable way to handle the revenue from disputes: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7000961?hl=en
  15. Good work! I get copyright claims even for original music on regular basis. I always dispute the claim. Some of them go away after 30 days automatically, and some get viewed and cleared by someone. My last video received a copyright claim from TuneCore Japan. The composition itself is public domain so the claim was for the actual audio recording. Attached is a screenshot of the claim and copyright release e-mails that I received from them. I've never actually received a copyright STRIKE but a ton of copyright claims that I've successfully disputed so far.
  16. It's been a shitty year for most of us, so we could probably use some light humor?
  17. I shave every other day some times. One of the new managers of my very first and only non-music jobs in the US had problems with it. I knew questioning one's religion had become such a taboo, so I told him I was from the Middle East and my shaving routine was because of my religion. It worked!!!
  18. If their DIY skills are like mine, it would probably take all 10 people to fix anything around the house.
  19. I tried to look him up and watch more performances other than the ones uploaded on his own channel. Apparently there are many more James Weaver musicians who just passed away due to Covid complications. Sorry to hear about this terrible news.
  20. Your name is Leslie and you work at Abercrombie & Fitch. Wow Chief, that was pretty darn close! It's actually Lesley with the Y, but still very impressive.
  21. I'll reward the forum with a FREE piece of advice, if anyone has the skills to decrypt my username!
  22. There must be a reason why people say 3rd time is the charm after all. The 3rd one hasn't been giving me problems and hopefully I'll use it for a long time. You're one of the few who still contributes to that composition thread on Korg Forums. Glad to know you finally gained the celebrity status in Europe.
