yes, I am aware that conventional guitars have fundamental issues with intonation in equal temperament systems. this has not prevented it from being a versatile instrument that is quite capable of being played “enough” in tune with ensemble

the unit of measurement is called a “cent”. there are 100 cents between each 1/2 step in 12-tone equal temperament.

the progression you are referring to is I-IV-bIII-bVI, where are all these chords are “power chords” i.e. dyads comprised of a root and fifth. it is an awesome progression but violates absolutely nothing in music theory. we can find example

relative to mathematical perfection, of course it’s all an approximation when a human instrumentalist is involved. that’s the nature of our physical reality. the most important element here is how it sounds to our ears. not how closely it t

how would you use this approach in practical application? i haven’t met many working musicians who had much difficulty learning the relationships between different keys, how they connect to the circle of fifths (fourths), and key signatures

it depends on where it is on the fretboard. the higher you go in frequency, the physical distance between each interval on the fretboard becomes smaller. so if a +/- 5 cent adjustment is 0.5 mm at the first “fret” after the nut, it wil

the sandman (*) intervals aren’t coming from microtonal tuning… it’s dynamically modulated detuning in equal temperament, just as you say. it’s an extremely common type of modulation, especially if there are synthesizers involved. * what a

so slightly that it can be on the range of 0-5 cents, provided the instrument is sufficiently constructed and the player is sufficiently skilled. this is why a guitar using equal temperment can play consistently in-tune with itself as well

the last reason you gave is exactly why open strings sound different. check out zero-fret guitars.

skilled instrumentalists are quite capable of consistently reproducing intervals in a given tuning system. particularly thirds in just intonation. it’s not an approximation. it’s one of the reasons we spend so much time learning ear trainin

including multiple methods for the user to detune oscillators is quite common on modern synthesizers, advanced or otherwise. it’s almost never a fixed amount of detuning. one of those methods is called a “chorus” effect. this is extremely c

one of my favorite aspects of learning the tuba was when we covered logarithmic approximations via linear summing.

retuning via tape velocity modulation would be easiest if the instrument in question was consistently out of tune with the rest of the band - like if the sax was always 15 cents flat relative to the harmonic structure. usually that’s not th

modern mastering does not optimize fidelity in a car at the expense of other modes of listening, and these articles do not indicate as such. modern mastering does take into account a highly popular listening environment, to ensure that the

I am not carrying any weapons in this conversation. Nobody is attacking you here. Yet, I experience your interactions here as carrying defensiveness and un-checked assumptions. That is my experience. That is different from me saying, “you a

Hi, Thanks for explaining, I hear what you are saying about dedicated hardware giving much more control. In the case of this dot and an external monitor / display, and until the OS is updated, that definitely sounds like a great option

this is partly because the muscles you engage, the angles at which you apply force are going to have slight or large differences from another player due to differences in biology and physiology. we are not all the same shape nor strength. s

I can appreciate that you have this personal opinion of the genre and I have a completely opposite experience. I dig synthwave specifically for the eros and hard listening, and I'm in my mid 40s.

The line you describe is quite blurred. A person without the "causes and conditions" for addictive behaviors can take a substance that is highly physically addictive, like nicotine, and still never have an urge to use it again. Mo
