It's all about the dose! Sublingual can be just as dissociative - perhaps even more - than smoking. Sublingual can give a much longer experience, and so there's a lot more time spent in that space (30-45+ minutes compared to 5-10)

“mic” when referring to microphones? It’s super common in the audio world and probably others like film. Also it’s exactly the sequence of letters the word starts with, unlike the homonym “mike”. Curious why this is getting to your pedantic

?? Half of 1 millisecond is 0.5 milliseconds. Just because their published latency is the “smallest whole number” as you seem to be pointing to - doesn’t mean that it can’t be halved. What a strange thing to say. Ableton measures latency do

interesting, I wish amazon would let me see inside the music theory book. I'm just curious if they are still using note names and how this teacher is going about things... Because yes it's totally true you don't need to be ab

agreed. modern music is "off tune" relative to just intonation - which is barely used largely because we have evolved to appreciate the aesthetics of modulation, something that is extremely limited in just intonation. it's pe

happy to continue the conversations. I don't hold this assumption that you name, and it's not a part of formalized music education. which actually does emphasize method and relationships, versus rote learning. I'm curious why

Are you learning music theory without learning how to read music at all? If so, how, for example, are you talking about the concept of a dominant 7th chord? Or a ii-V-I?

Thanks for your reply, no apologies necessary, and I am glad you found a teacher that you resonate with! I have degrees in physics and music. I understand all of this from first principles. Speaking as someone who has spent tens of thousand

my goodness. I appreciate your personalized take on music theory for its iconoclasm but would never in a million years subject any of my students to learning this beautiful topic in this way. Unless they were perhaps computer scientists &#x

I’m curious if you are a musician? This description of music theory (whiteboard algorithms) feels really off to me (feel free to look at my sibling comments as to why). If it’s your experience as a musician I would like to understand why.
