what instruments utilize only static pressure?
what instruments utilize only static pressure?
Thanks to everybody except that one jerk-off! This is what I thought, but I thought I was missing one for some reason.
Altimeter and VSI.
You didn’t ask, but the Airspeed Indicator uses static pressure in addition to pitot pressure.

What kind of musical instruments produce sound readily associated with gloom and sorrow?
When these instruments play, you know that the mood is sad, melancholic and sorrowful. I’m rearranging some music, and employing such would improve the atmosphere of the music. I know harps are one of them. What are the others?
Cello for sure. I always use it to score sad parts of films, yet I find it’s sounds to be beautiful.

what are the instruments in a a school band?
I want to play in my school band but dont’t know what kind of instruments are in it. I would prefer to play the flute is the flute in the school band?
The instruments in a school band are generally:
Woodwinds:
flute, clarinet, sax, oboe, bassoon, contrabass, etc.
Some of the woodwind instruments can be split into four sections:
Soprano, alto, tenor, bass
Brass:
French Horn, Euphonium, Tuba, Trombone, Trumpet, and French Horn
and then there’s the percussion section which has a lot of different instruments such as marimbas, snare drum, timpani, triangle, etc. usually, you will learn more than one of these, and eventually be expected to know how to play most of them, if not all of them.
But, yes, the flute is in the school band

How making music how does one go about knowing what instruments to use together?
I’m practicing making music on fl studio, (it’s music production software) but when it comes to using different instruments I don’t know what instruments to play together. The genre of music im making is hip hop music how can i go about learning what makes a certain song a hip hop song. Also If im writing a song in a certain key using one instrument should I use that same key for all instruments used.
First off i’m going to give you a heads up, learn FL studio but move on the moment you get familiar with the software to something more professional and get a midi keyboard. Try reason for pc or logic studio for mac.
I suggest you listen to some of your favorite producers, some instrumetns packaged with FL just aren’t needed. Check youtube for fruity loops tutorials, you can also find hundreds if not thousands of forums that cater to fruity loops producers. I will ask you personally as an artist and producer to stay away from too much synthesizer..fruity loop producers love synths but its over used and played out now. You sound like you are eager to learn and that’s the most important factor in it all, watch some basic tutorials on the layout of the software and then watch some videos of others making beats of FL Studio..by the end of that process you’ll know more or less what you need to get going. After that post up when you need more advanced assistance and i’m sure others will be more willing to help when your questions are less general and more precise to specific action or sound. Good luck.

If a typical rock band went into a studio with a professional, in what order would he record their instruments and vocals in? Assuming that going in you need to record: guitar, bass, drums, lead vocals, backup vocals.

What are the minimum instruments you need in a band to get good music?
Hope you guys can help me to answer this.
What are the minimum instruments you need in a band to produce good music
This one is kind of open ended and complicated. there is no "simple answer". I mean, it depends what you have access to, your style of playing, what kind of music your into, and how many people you could play with. If you look at famous bands, probably the minimum would be Nirvana (I believe they got away with two guitarists and a drummer, but don’t quote me on that). And even if you had a two man gig, you can do some awesome stuff with two guitars. However, I would say it depends on how many people your playing for (if you are doing gigs, which I assume you will be). Realistically, I would say that your "standard" small band should have a lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist/ slash singer (if your going to do vocals, it would probably easiest for the rhythm guitarist), and a drummer. Like I said though, there are a lot of variables involved.

On ipod certain instruments heard in one bud and others heard on the other bud?
You know how with some songs on your ipod, certain instruments will be heard in one bud and other instruments and vocals will be heard on the other?
For some reason this has always freaked me out and gives me a headache. I want to know if there’s any way to make it so that both earbuds play the entire song and it isn’t split up at all. Is this possible?
Okay, question still stands. Is there any way to convert the song so it doesn’t do that?
That has nothing to do with the iPod. Songs in mono only have one audio channel, so the same thing is just played in both ears. Songs in stereo have two audio channels, so that means that the drums can go on one channel, and the guitar can go on the other, for example.

What age is good to introduce child to musical instruments?
What would be an ideal age to introduce musical instruments to children without being pushy.
Does it vary between genders? And what would be the best to introduce 1st?
Thank you
As soon as possible. There is no wrong age.
Children are interested in sounds. Some children are interested in how those sounds are made and how they affect other people. Not all of them are.
It’s best if the parent plays the instruments as sort of a "modeling" behavior. But pushiness is not necessarily a bad thing. Children need guidance and discipline/boundaries — they need to know what the rules are because learning an instrument does not provide immediate gratification.

How do I start an online shop selling musical instruments?
I would love to start an online business selling musical instruments, mainly Yamaha keyboards and digital pianos. I have experience in both the music business and and the retail industry.
Would I need to contact yamaha to declare myself a wholesaler? and what are the best deals/costs for setting up a commercial website?
cheers
Online shoppers want variety and low prices because they can navigate away in a second if you don’t have what they want. It’s very hard to compete with large online distributors. They have the ability to buy in bulk and can pass their reduced prices on to the customers plus they have extensive warehouse and shipping facilities not to mention extensive inventories.
Your best bet would be to find a niche market and specialize in it and use affiliate programs from places like Amazon, etc. A well crafted web site can get a lot of traffic, some of whom will buy something from the online stored linked on your site and then you get a cut.
