It makes him feel like he made a comment against me when he actually didn't accomplish anything at all. People usually do this when they can't handle criticism so their ego feels like they won even though they can't come up with anything.
Also, I don't care if it's 25% different or whatever, it still sounds the same to the casual listener to doesn't have access to programs that will tell you time signature, pitches, beats per minute, etc.
Besides you all should know you can imitate triplets in a 4/4 time signature by dotting random notes in differing time signatures. So don't give me this quasi-educated poop. I know a little bit about music, I played in school and had lessons for around 10 years.
Honestly you guys are like kids playing with toys. Here are some of the joys of playing french horn other people don't need to deal with all of the time:
1. F Horn is in F. Old music isn't written in F since the F horn hadn't been invented yet. They used various hunting horns in random pitches. Have fun transposing to C or something fun like A on the fly.
2. Once you've tuned one side of the horn, you need to tune the other side of the horn (assuming you have a double. If someone doesn't have a double, they're suicidal). Good luck getting them in tune together. Triple horns make this even better and more fun.
3. Use a mute and ruins the tuning mentioned above.
4. 25+ft of brass or nickel is quite sensitive to temperature. This ruins tuning further.
5. Ever had to play a sound effect on cue in a play?
6. All clefs are fair game
7. The instrument is the most sensitive to lip movement of any instrument. Tightening/loosening of the lips changes the note you play.
8. F horn players generally have an extremely good ear because it's MUCH easier to play a song if you can hear in your head first. I have a good ear, and I'm telling you they sound pretty damn close. The one he ripped off of seems like a more complex version of what he made.
9. When told to play loud, since your bell points in the opposite direction of everyone else, you need to play louder than everyone else.
10. Do you know how hard it is to bend metal like that? There is a level of craftsmanship in these that is unparalleled compared to a synth or a guitar. Guitars have tried by making limited edition poop, but in the end the level of craftsmanship is vastly different.

7K for the above, and it's obviously had multiple repairs. There is no super ultra limited supply and it's not autographed by anyone.
And finally consider this:
Ever seen a marching band with a F horn in it? You haven't. The instrument is too hard to play while walking so we instead get the atrocity known in some areas the "mellophone", which is an F Horn coiled up like a trumpet with trumpet like pitch increments (IE F horn made even more out of tune but significantly easier to play).
So have a grand old time making music that is instantly in tune and on beat by pressing button and clicking a mouse. It sounds really challenging. You guys have no respect for how music is actually made, and that is what Jayman is calling you out on several posts above me.
Also since you pansies don't play wind instruments you don't understand the pleasure of being able to breathe whenever you feel like it.
Take your guitar and kiss my ass with it pansy.
