I have two recorders here in front of me.

Am I about to learn the worst instrument in the world?

Kind of sounds fun.

She is in the first vid I posted.

never learnt music cos my racist school teachers wouldnt teach me recorder when I was 3 or 4.
It was the day I learnt about the injustices of this world. my mum couldnt even overturn the decision. I was devvo’d. Still am. I ai’d a tune for my cousin recently. One of his G’d up mates has got big ideas of entering into music. Kept badgering me in messages “needs more saxophone, needs more saxophone”. I rang him up furious, on speaker phone so they all heard “listen here tnuc, every time you mention saxophone it reminds me of how I cant play an instrument and Im transported back to crying confused wondering why this bitch is denying the world the greatest musician it’ll ever know”. They laughed harder than theyd had in years :disappointed_relieved:
ahhh well, jokes on them. Im a million pages deep in a dubstep forum where the topic of conversation is rarely dubstep. who’s really got the inside scoop on extremes of the sonic palette so far fetched futuristically theyll scare any mainstream listener you’d hope to ensare to pierce their ear drums with cotton buds? That’d be on my CV. Stars in their eyes. “Tonight Matthew Im gonna be EEEEEEEEE WOMP WOMP EEEEEWAAWAAWAAA WEEEEEEEEE WOMP WOMP SKIWWA SKIWWWAA SKREEEEEEEEEEE”
poor bastards dont know Im butters

That sucks.

My mom was a musician and she let me take drum lessons when I was 5. But I wanted to bash a drum kit and it was all paradiddles and flams on a drum pad. Not what a 5 year old wanted.

Next it was guitar at age 8. My mom was a singer/songwriter and gave me lessons. But I guess the guitar wasn’t really for me although I have one now. It was a classical guitar with nylon strings.

My next instrument was the alto saxophone. And then the tenor saxophone.

I gave those up because I wanted to skateboard to high school and didn’t want to lug around a heavy saxophone.

At 19, I picked up the electric bass. At 21 I joined a big band at uni and started playing the upright bass which is one of biggest instruments ever.

My musical upbringing was eclectic and that was just the start.

That’s quite the foundation for a life in music!

I learnt to sing by tone, not key :grimacing:
every time I try and play an instrument my head gets hot and I spaz out.
Bass is an interesting one tho. I can keep a rhythm going with a few notes and put some fkin 'tude on it.
Always tried to sing but by tone so not well.
Wrote my first rap about 11. Probably wrote a million rhymes in between now and then.
All my musical knowledge is related to production, tone, timbre, resonance etc.
Soon as it goes beyond abc: ace, ceg type stuff my mind falls out my head
and the small 3 note ditty I just wrote Ill fuck it up out of music in some punk melee.
Then it just sounds like shit, but quite well produced :lol_og:
Brains are fkin weird arent they

Why do so many people making beats use FL studio?

Because it’s dumb and simple af for simple things, so kids with an attention span of approx 5 secs manages to use it, because there are a million other kids with 5 sec attention span who has made video tutorials on which exact buttons to press in which exact sequence.

I briefly fucked around with with Fruity Loops 1 on a P1.

easy to use and it got alot of popularity on twitch through the npc streamers like xqc and them lot. i use fl studio and most of the videos i watch are from people who use other daws. i just want the techniques and knowledge not the step by step sequence on how to do something. its a shame because it is a good daw if used properly instead of making a trap beat and putting a soft clipper on the master.
