I see you missed my point.
I see you missed my point.
I can’t believe I’m on the music industry’s side on this. It’s a sad day when I have to root for the team that’s made it hard for me to make a living while they fight against the team that’s trying to make me obsolete.
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
You don’t come across as ignorant, no worries. It’s mostly just nomenclature.
“Black Churches” are simply churches (usually, but not exclusively Baptist) that are located in or near, or cater to Black communities. There’s usually a Black pastor. I’ve never really thought about why this is a thing until reading your comment, but my guess is it stems from the post-slavery and post-equal rights movement era thing. The federal, state and local governments put forth a lot of policies that are in retrospect kinda shitty to Black people. I imagine this led Black Americans to form congregations that they wouldn’t be quietly pushed away from, and feel overall more comfortable in.
In modern America, they are just labeled that. There are no restrictions or rules against who can go to the church. I am a white, non-religious audio engineer, who works Sunday mornings doing sound at a “Black Church”. I’d say about 10-15% of the members at this church are white or non-Black. The church is located within a section of town that has a more diverse population than other areas. The pastor and his family that run the church are very nice, and very welcoming of all the patrons. They’ve always been very nice to me, even knowing that I don’t follow the religion.
This is also how I spell it, but is it the correct spelling?
Edit: I should have just read further.
Really glad he should be ok. This guy’s words are important and this band is important.
I’ll be real I didn’t know they paid better than others. But what does the number look like? Are they taking ten percent? Twenty? Or is it more like they pay out what’s equivalent to like one percent? If the numbers aren’t largely in the artist’s favor, it’s still exploitation and not ok.
Also don’t tell me I can’t hate them for any reason. Without researching I am VERY confident they are exploiting artists. It’s what companies like this do to artists.
If google was taking like ten or twenty percent off the top after creators collected their money, I would do this in a heartbeat. The simple fact is I don’t want to give every cent of my money to google while legitimate artists don’t get paid. Especially when they do everything they can to NOT pay those artists now.
The LOWER the impedance, the louder the headphones. The lower impedance models (in my opinion, I haven’t read Beyer’s copy) are made with studio work in mind, for example listening to tracks as you are playing and recording drums, which are quite loud. For simple listening, the 250ohm pair of DT700 (for example) would be great. I own a pair. They are plenty loud and sound great.
I am an audio engineer with 20+ years experience.
That 15 yr old cracked CS5 I have on an old hard drive is looking mighty scrumptious right now.
Like others in here, I find myself listening to whole records. Sometimes I’ll listen to a couple by an artist in a row.
I feel like I don’t listen to enough music. I try to sit down and actively listen to things when I can, but mostly I’ll get a record or two in while doing something mindless like dishes or yard work. Nothing gets overplayed this way.
The sheer amount of accounts I don’t follow and/or adds I DO see already do this for me. It’s a nice “feature” they added for me. Way to go Meta. I get bored fast now and close the app.
I’ve used vote411.org in the past and it’s done a decent enough job for me to double check local candidates and their policies ideas prior to elections. I’m willing to try others though. Any thoughts on vote411?
Came here to say this. Thank you for beating me to it.
I just signed an offer for a 8am-4pm job, so I guess they do but it’s been a long while since I’ve had a job with those hours.
It’s almost like I’ve heard investing advice say this for my entire life. Can’t imagine why’d they tell us that over and over and then corner the market. Couldn’t be that they lie to us. That just, like CAN’T be. Right? RIGHT?!
Seems like you’re hearing it perfectly, but not listening.
This would make a dope enameled pin.
This post reminded me of three apps I have on my phone I don’t want or need. Deleted them. Thank you.
The answer to the question “who thought this was a good idea?” Is Coca Cola. The companies (and distributors) selling these products to stores negotiates with those stores to build these displays and decides what they look like.
Fuck em.
