I would take every one of those red peppers.

My experiences with the Surface Pro 3 and the Lumia lost micosoft a customer for life. I'm sure they don't care. But I can't be alone.

Or, that’s simply human nature and philosophy, like the scientific method, is an attempt to account for human error whilst seeking a currently undiscovered truth.

It’s the throwing your head back. The trick, for noobs, is to bring your knees up and not throw your head back. Bring your feet over your head not your head under your feet.

I think it’s to focus on the baton. My reaction was towards the dangers of police with batons. Like when someone is killed by a non-lethal weapon it’s important to point out it is lethal. What if it was just a single crowd control swing? Isn’t that noteworthy?

Sweet Jesus Fuck. It was my TV. Shit I feel like a moron. My TV was feeding the sound into my 5.1 via optical cable (smart TV) but it was fucking up the sound. So it didn't matter what sound type I used it was fucked from the get go.

I hate to say this....but you guys were right. Fuck me.

Seriously go for a walk. I know what I’m doing. The Stranger is mixed like ass. I know what stereo mix is you ass wipe it’s what I use when I run a movie through my studio monitors. Again…

I. Have. Fucking. Mixed. Audio. For. Film. What the fuck are you on about?

I’d say The Stranger is worse than Tenet.

I’m an actual real live sound engineer. I’ve worked on low and no budget indie films. I’m mostly a band/live event guy but like I said…low budget. The only thing I can think of that would make sound this bad, even if you simply turned off 5.1 and randomly panned everything…is compressor/limiter artifacts. Like when there’s too much sound beeing pumped through individual channels to be combined so that putting them through the same channel causes the compressor to overwork. Or when you use panning as a replacement for actual mixing. AKA: bad mixing. Hence my rant.

Hate to interrupt y’all’s argument but any chance you want to ask whether or not I actually know this?

I’d be pretty awkward if you guys put all that work into arguing that consumers are morons if it turned out I was a sound engineer who’s recorded and mixed live events and low budget independent films. May be extra awkward if I have a 5.1 system.

Dennon/ Boston Audio 5.1.

Gonna make me learn the part and try it then are you?

Ha. You’ve triggered me! This is what I’m currently practicing.

This is cool but seriously guys do yourself a favor and learn one octave. Just one. Major or minor, pentatonic or diatonic it doesn't matter. Start with what you use most. Country: Major Diatonic. Everything else: Minor Pentatonic.

Memorize ONE OCTAVE using scale degrees. Then practice moving that around the guitar. Notice what the "Line-O-Confusion" does to the scale. That's the G-B string tuning.

Once you have the first octave you can tackle the second.

As for fretboard knowledge? Pick one fret per week to quiz yourself on. Just keep cycling through he frets. If that doesn't make you want to stab your eyes you can add reviewing all the root notes in the song you're practicing currently. Reviewing is the word. Not finding. Finding is useless outside the fact that it allows you to begin reviewing.

Source: Guitar teacher for 20 years. I've witnessed the difference between the one octave approach and the "fretboard map" approach first hand with hundreds, maybe thousands, of students.

I'm currently editing a Top Gun Theme lesson to illustrate this point. The theme is easy. The point of the lesson is to understand scales and the fretboard better. If anyone is curious that should be up on my channel in about a week. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTMlZtDH0kP1ozHv9DJnPsg
