i have a fretless bass thinking it would free me up to microtones and all that stuff, but you just end up playing the same stuff you'd play normally.]]> Opinions and Polls Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354555 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354425 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:48:26 +0000 Opinions and Polls Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354425 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354423 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:33:18 +0000
I used to manage codec (e.g., AAC, PAC, MP3) objective testing for a codec design group. Among the "unofficial" observations among the experts and program managers, were that people acclimate pretty quickly to what they hear, and many do not hear obvious distortions and artifacts (codec mistakes), even after training and in A/B comparo scenarios. and even among the expert listeners there were big differences in perception. that led us to use groups of expert listeners to probe as many dimensions (e.g. harmonic distortion, frequency modulation, transient distortion, imaging, freq response …), because no one expert "heard it all." for music, the acclimatization and general fuzziness of perception can be big pluses, especially where equal-temperament tuning is involved. it works well enough and gives us incredible flexibility.]]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354423 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354369 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 04:24:01 +0000 Opinions and Polls tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354369 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354363 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:47:23 +0000 Opinions and Polls katmetal https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354363 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354358 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:13:47 +0000
Seriously, though - I don't really like it ...it almost sounds out of tune half the time while he is playing it. Oh, I get it - it's supposed to sound that way. of course I cannot argue with your opinion, but it's pretty hard to miss the added dissonance of equal-temperment tuning ("normal"), especially with distortion. as a metal guy, I would have thought you'd appreciate the added tightness of harmonic-based tuning.]]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354358 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354314 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 05:18:18 +0000 supposed to sound that way. Only because you grew up listening to music in the equal temperament system. When the tuning system changed (it has multiple times) there were always those who didn't like the new one. Meantone might be the "best" overall but it has a big problem in that it is tuned for a single key only and when you switch keys you need to switch tuning.]]> Opinions and Polls Hyperborea https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354314 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354305 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 04:12:28 +0000

I Know a guy that plays a fretless guitar, with sometimes multiple slides. He uses the Meantone system....I guess it's as old as music itself.]]> Opinions and Polls tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354277 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/this-is-a-wierd-guitar/#post-354269 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 21:11:08 +0000
