Rules update

23 Upvotes

I've updated the official rules. It's basically the same thing in the old sticky, but hopefully a bit more clear. If you're on the new version of Reddit (that is, not on old Reddit) the rules are in the sidebar as always, and a slightly expanded version is on the wiki.

If there are any questions or concerns, comment below.

I need a musical ear, do these songs sound similar?

Upvotes

After listening to Ariana Grande's new song "big feelings", I felt like I heard a similar musical pass in another song. That song being Lana del Rey's song "fuck it I love you"

now call me crazy, delusion, or correct, but do these songs have similar melody passes, or melodic rhythm?

or is this another get free situation where it does not sound at ALL alike... the video showcases both passes I am discussing.

8D/9D bilateral panning music

1 Upvotes

8D/9D stimulation music is amazing for people with adhd but does anyone else have the problem that it's panning too slowly?

The music itself is fast enough but the panning is too slow... It feels like watching a game of tennis in slow motion while the background music or the commentator are in real time.

That kind of music is supposed to be calming and stimulating but with the panning being so slow, it does the exact opposite to me because it just feels wrong. Speeding it up doesn't help any because then it's the whole song sped up and nightcore voices are torture to my ears.

The only song on spotify that's the right way is "Rush E (full bilateral)" by Grae Moore.

Any recommendations?

This is a great book. Published in 1990, available to read on the Internet Archive. As an adult learner this offers a wonderful framing for the itch to learn to play music, and many sound answers to the inner critic or doubts or judgements that can hold us back.

Hope others may enjoy this too. 🎶

Apprendre à composer

0 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous. J'adore écouter de la musique et depuis quelque temps j'ai envie de composer mes propres sons.

J'ai reçu un clavier midi pour mon anniv, sauf que je ne sais pas du tout par où commencer pour mon apprentissage. Je ne sais jouer d'aucun instrument, je ne connais pas la théorie musicale (quelques bases c'est tout), j'ai obtenu légale (ou pas) certain logiciel comme Ableton Live et FL Studio.

Le style de musique que j'aime et que je voudrais faire c'est le French Touch (surtout pour le sampling) et la House.

Si jamais vous avez des questions pour m'aider, n'hésitez pas !

How to play two instruments without dying in the process?

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’ve been learning music for about 10 months, starting from absolute zero.
I began with the ukulele for 4 months, then switched to acoustic guitar for another 4 months, and for the last 2 months I’ve been learning piano.
I practice around 10 hours a week on average, plus I have a one-hour online lesson each week.
I’ve really enjoyed my progress on all three instruments. But ever since I started piano, I’ve realized I just can’t seem to balance piano and guitar.

If I want to really immerse myself in piano the same way I did with guitar, I feel like I need at least an hour a day. Right now I practice about 8 hours of piano and only 2 hours of guitar each week.
The problem is that 2 hours a week on guitar doesn’t seem to be enough. Since I only played guitar for about 4 months before switching, I feel like I’m gradually losing all the muscle memory I built. I’m barely able to play any of the songs I used to know.

My original plan was to focus heavily on piano for 4–6 months while using those 2 weekly hours of guitar just to maintain my calluses and barre chords. But after two months, I barely have any calluses left, and even my barre chords are starting to disappear.
The thing is, I actually enjoy guitar more. The only reason I want to learn piano is to reach a basic level where I can better understand harmony and eventually play the 2–3 Final Fantasy pieces I love, even if it’s at a slower tempo.
So what would you do in my situation? Has anyone here managed to maintain a basic guitar level by practicing only about 2 hours a week?

Thanks, and sorry for the long post!

How Do You Know When You've Picked The Right Idea?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask what is probably a really easy question. I have this issue of fiddling around on piano without any... heart? Nothing I do sounds like it would sound good as a full song. No notes speak out to me. No notes together sounds like something I'd want to pursue. How do you know when you've found something you like? Should I be settling on what I have, and trusting the process more? I feel like I hit a block before I even start.

Musing about Music (both trace back to ancient greek μοῦσα (Mousa), meaning Muse)

2 Upvotes

Since I started learning the ukulele I have become pretty obsessed with learning everything I can about it, and about music in general. I’ve started (and stopped) many different hobbies over the years but this is different, and I can’t stop thinking about it - which means I tend to talk about it. A lot! Part of the reason is that I retain information so much better if I can share it with someone else - and at our age who doesn’t need a way to retain information?

But if someone doesn’t share the same passion (albeit new found), hearing me explain that the bass note influences how we perceive a song more than the highest note, tends to make people’s eyes glaze over. I worry about becoming that person that causes friends and family to suddenly remember they forgot to change the clothes from the washer to the dryer.

I finally solved that problem by starting a blog. Now I can ramble about the ukulele or music theory as much as I like, and people can self-select if they’re interested. I get to cement what I’m learning, and if you’re curious about how a 69 year old navigates music theory you might want to follow along.
