Twice during fight shutdowns and once when a person persisted on escalating some road rage after the fact.

same q

I didn't see this question.

Paradise = Night time during a tempestuous winter storm, on a sheltered snow embankment beneath fir trees which are trimmed with coloured Christmas lights. Honeybees, chipmunks, and mes animaux safely playing. A roaring fire nearby for hot toddies and brown betties.

Aggression = self-defence.



Have you ever done cross-stitch?

Nope. I've left people in stitches (laughter , not fighting,) but not cross-stitches.

same q

nope, no clue how. Mom and Auntie are big time quilters and 92 yo auntie is still making some beautiful stuff

same q

nope.

have you ever tried to restore an old music recording on your computer?

yes we learned that at school, i rather enjoyed the handicraft, fine motorskills were never a problem only the big motorskills and coordination,
our handicraft teacher moved next door, we would hang out with her sometimes, in the haydays of seventies craft and autarky wave, she had a big loom in her living room

same question

Used Adobe Audtion. As a teenager. That was like 2005. Center channel extractor. Denoise, Dehiss. etc I liked the frequency spectrogram. Actually see music graphically displayed for the first time. 20-20,000hz. Yeah I know a lot about audio in general.Very primitive VST plugin capability. Kinda buggy. That software. That GUI is still my favourite. lol.

same q

i had it on my puter 'til the last mandatory windows upgrade which rendered it non-functional. i used it mostly back in the 2000s. now i use Pristine Sounds 2005 and Sound Forge 10 and iZotopeRx8 for basically all my restoration needs. now and then i use Acoustica Advanced 7.3 as it has a superior source separator.

choose one-

old monophonic recordings staying as they were originally released back in the day-
or
new remasterings of those old recordings using the original multitrack master tapes to remix into stereophonic?

I choose new remasterings of old recordings.

Same question.

I prefer fidelity over 'purity' or whatever. I know some people like mono mixes of 60's records, Beatles for e.g., somehow it's more' authentic.' But I like stereo mixes, even if they are badly panned/mixed. George Martin rushed them out, At the time they were a novelty. Radio was mono. Tv was mono. Stereo mixes were wide panned , 'to make use of the full stereo field, ' was the idea. To distinguish from mono. Modern mixes with bass centered, modern style mixing can be good. Especially when using original tapes.

Infodump lol.
There are exceptions for e.g. Hendrix original mixes , say ezy ryder for e.g. is great. Along watchtower is great. Hendrix had final say on mixing. They're perfect. The guitar pans are specific and calculated. The nuances are completely lost in modern more crisper remixes.

I've used alot of software over the years. Audio. Image. Video. etc I like computers. No, not it's not paraphelia. For the record. I don't have computer love. But i guess something close to it...I'm INTP afterall...


Do you know musical scales, music theory?

i have foggy notions of such. but i do have perfect pitch which can compensate somewhat for weak grasp of fundamental theory.

same q.

Wow. I was just gonna ask about perfect pitch, or 'the golden ear.' That's awesome you have that. I think it's rare. I have nothing close to it. Some top music producers, musicians have it, of course it helps them greatly in their profession. Music theory. I've studied it in a rudimentary way. The basics. Out of curiosity.

What's better, Minor or major melodys/sound/songs?

i will spare you my more nuanced answer to this and just say major makes me happier.

same q.

I guess minor key. It's more dramatic. Sturm un Drang. Dark. Brooding. I prefer more darker music. It has the edge to it, unlike sometimes sappy upbeat poppy major key stuff. Minor key stuff rarely sounds bad.

What do you think of Sting as a musician? or as a person (lol )

How about as an actor?



Meh.

Same question

I thought he did a good job in Brimstone and Treacle.

Which musician do you think was/is the best actor?
