This is done to provide a shorthand signal that the two characters are truly old buddies with a long history.
They immediately (with no discussion or preparation) break into a greeting that involves some kind of rhythmic chant along with highly coordinated hand slapping and other physical movements.
I've got the Electro 7 (61) and I'm very inexperienced on synthesizer, so I'm asking for help in creating a desired lead sound.
The question is how to create the "wave" or "swell" effect that exists on some patches after you strike the key.
Best illustration of what I mean (if you have the E7) is the "Bass Statement" patch in the Analog Bass section and the "Reso Swell" patch in the Analog Poly section.
Any ideas?
And they're able to stab the killer just in time!
Before you say it, I know that people in real life actually do go to gravesites and speak out loud to their deceased loved ones.
It is an annoying trope because of how often it is used as an easy way to explain the character's motivations and/or to manufacture a sentimental moment in the show.
I am in an apartment building and I have small monitors on a table. I don't play the music very loud (about 60db). But I would like to insert some material under the table legs to reduce any vibration that might disturb the person below me.
I know it's a pretty straightforward and relatively inexpensive process but there are so many brands and materials advertised, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Thanks for any advice.
Usually, it's a morning scene. The guy tousles the hair of the kids at the breakfast table. He playfully grabs the wife from behind while she's at the stove. They make flirty cute teasing comments to each other. You know what's about to happen...
This one is so common I assume it's been mentioned before. The character has just done or seen something terrible, or heard some bad news, and they immediately throw up.
*Not to be confused with cops who find a rotting corpse and get sick from the odor. That's a real physical reaction.
This is when interview subject walks into the empty frame and sits down while the crew fixes their hair and makeup and tells them where to look.
It's not "more real", it's just annoying!
First, I understand that keybed action is completely subjective and even the various descriptive words don't mean much. I know that we should all use whatever feels best to us.
Still, I am looking for a sanity check.
Current example is that I am preferring the CK88 to the YC88. The YC just feels a little clunky and sticky. The CK feels more reactive. Although it's more plastic than the YC, it is somehow more solid than my old MODX8 or the Yamaha DGX which both supposedly have the same GHS action (?)
I have had a similar feeling about premium keybeds in general (the RD2000, the Kawai MP, Studio Logic GT88).
For some context, I am a rock/pop player and rarely get to play a real acoustic.
Anyone else experience this?
This is the scene where a character is making an important well rehearsed speech or eulogy or presentation of some kind. In the middle of the speech they stop...awkward silence.
Then the person makes a point of throwing away the script and starts speaking from the heart. The crowd is confused. The character's friends/co-workers, etc are horrified or panicked. But it was the right thing to do!
You know this scene. Two characters meet and start exchanging insults and threats. And just when it looks like they are about to fight, one of them smiles and says "you old rascal" or some other warm greeting. They were just old buddies having fun!
This is the moment when the cops decide to question a certain witness or suspect. When they arrive at the house, the person is already outside raking leaves, sitting on the porch, washing/working on their car, so they can just start the conversation.
Example is the recent "The Boys" episode when Starlight goes to her childhood home (where she is unwelcome) and the dad just happens to be outside shoveling snow.
I think HBO's "DTF St Louis" had a few of these as well.
The reason is the convenience of not having to show the search for the person and convincing them to speak.
It doesn't work because it relies too much luck and coincidence.
Take a minute and show the search for the person and why they would cooperate.
