Music Machine

RV, I hope you are well today. I listen, first, to the musicianship, the performance, and the composition (I consider all three as one). There is a reason I put that music on, at that moment in time. I am not fooled, as these are recordings we are listening to. Knowing these sounds of music enter a microphone/recording and mixing console; if I were trying to capture the proper "tone" of a violin, or "where" these tones are located, I have gone away from listening to the music and stuck in the equipment listening phase. This is me.....I am not saying gear does not matter. It most certainly does. However, I look to connect with my big 3, and generally, it is enjoyably accomplished.....during these listening times of mine I have selected, a prescribed gummy, for a calm and anxiety free listening experience, is often ingested. Sad, when I was younger, I did not feel a need for them, although I enjoyed partaking. But now, in my 70s, and what I have been through, they help......? My best, MrD.

Mr D 

Thanks for the response.  
‘Hope all is well for you too.

@mrdecibel - I'm 73, and I've found cannabis and music to go together quite splendidly since I was a teenager. Got too much tolerance for gummies to be of any use, so I enjoy infused canola oil on a salad...

@larsman I am not sure what tolerance you are speaking of? The gummies I take are cannabis infused, and they do the same for me as the other. As long as it works. My best, MrD.

Gummies

Both self confessed to being in their 70s…..could the last two guys be two of the original Gummi Bears?

I think we’d all be happier if we regarded our rig as a music machine that can magically capture all the world’s music.

I am not even sure what that is supposed to mean.

The point of having a stereo system is to enjoy the world’s music.

I though that this was a given.  But I asume the point you want to make is that you believe that not everyone enjoys the world's music the way that they are supposed to?

@rvpiano 

World music per se

Yes l agree with you implicitly. Why limit yourself to one type of music.

It’s a bit like railway tunnel visioning if you don’t open up to new ideas. I always wonder where the term…’record player’ went in the States…..these have now turned into ‘turntables’. Turntables were for turning trains in the 1800s onwards. Does anyone in the USA call their vinyl engines record players anymore?

@immatthewj  to get the joke you need to read again the two earlier posts l refered to and then Google Gummi Bears.

@mrdecibel - the tolerance I'm speaking of is that I'd need to eat about 5 boxes of cannabis-infused gummies to feel much of anything. Most folks need 20 - 30 mg. I need over 350mg for the same affect, hence my salad oil! 

What a sad thread. I'm glad I don't feel the need for anything to enjoy music. Or life.

@secretguy 

What a sad thread…..l don’t feel the need for anything to enjoy music.

l think you need ears as the minimum requirement. LoL

It’s only as good, bad or sad as the contributors make it (myself included as l’m always looking for a laugh)

The OP @rvpiano  has made a serious comment on what gets him off on his music journey/path, and suggests not being afraid to take other routes through the forest…..

But keep a look out for any “Gummi Bears!’’
