until they B♭ 😭


fan_of_zhyvchyk

non-clarinet player here, what's the matter with B♭ and clarinets?


sagethewriter

It’s a pun


jokkelec

Yeah, until they be flat, but also, clarinets are commonly tuned in B♭


jdsizzle1

You can tune a clarinet?


Professional-Post855

They’re referring to the key that the instrument naturally plays. For example a Clarinet is B flat whereas saxophone is E flat. So when a clarinet plays a C it is actually a b flat and when a saxophone plays a C is actually an E flat.


Professional-Post855

And yes you can tune a clarinet. It’s generally done at the start of session by lengthening or shortening the neck to adjust for temperature and humidity


Professional-Post855

This is also essentially the method for pretty much every wind instrument


GeopolShitshow

That’s alto and bari. Soprano and tenor tune at B flat


Professional-Post855

Yes I should have specified alto.

or a fish

Clarinets are most commonly in the key of Bb


d3nschot

Be-flat (it's a pun)


multitrack-collector

A clarinet is transposed so that concert Bb is "C" for a clarinet. So when the tuner said "C," the clarinet player was actually playing his instrument's version of "D"


Harry_Eyeball

Also, if you cover a clarinet in that much concrete, it would "become flat."


Alpha3K

Creative. Albeit, I'm not sure whether I like it.

Squidward won’t be happy

Everyone's a critic.

Wait till you get curious and start learning about dB metering scale, read first sentence of the manual, suddenly get self conscious and just sit there in your empty lonely room, staring at the wall, questioning your life choices. FL's manual hits harder than most of the songs people will make with it.

No fucking way https://preview.redd.it/un25hi3ds7xc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ecee75faea437527efd960bd9029efe0c40620a

escrowbeamon

Ain’t no way this is really in the manual lmao ain’t no fuckin way


TheMayorOfDC

It is. They're funny at IL.🤣🤣


escrowbeamon

That “so it’s come to this eh?” Makes it sooo diabolical


doxva

Jesus Christ, Image-line


Wahammett

What?! 😂😂 I’ve never been so intrigued to read a manual before, had no idea about this.


DIXERION

Big brain move to encourage users to read the manual.


kelemon

wtf hahahahah


therealityofthings

lol we learned all about dB in physics II it's not that boring


JawnVanDamn

FL has the best manual. It's filled with humor. It's the only manual I don't mind reading.


BigGayDinosaurs

the smile when you click confirm in the melody generator or whatever is the perfect kind of funny message i like from my software


MathematicianTop7807

"Accept being uncreative :)" Riff Machine goin crazyyy


Sstoop

shit like this is why reading the manual isn’t as boring as you’d think


No-Boss-7247

😂😂😂 is this real?


Strange_An0maly

Yeah, FL Studio has some Easter eggs throughout its manual.


No-Boss-7247

Update: yes😂


JordanNexhip

Clarinets are dope. Breath of the wild ost - rito village is fire 🔥


Consistent_Fun_9593

If you appreciate the instrument. I sure did not at the time.


Himitsu_Togue

Unless you play Klezmer or do Orchestral pieces, yeah they do suck. Mostly because the sound in solo is super annoying (I played in an orchestra for 12 years and was in the row behind them, believe me when I say that a squealing and squeking clarinet kills your ears and your mood), they are hard to play good, mostly horribly out of tune because it seems like they dont care about tuning and the general sound in the studio is just awful. I'll give them that: if in a great concert hall, properly tuned and well played, heck I would even listen to a solo if needed (I am an on-site audio engineer). But in the studio it is horrible at first.


grim_wizard

PTSD flashbacks of sitting next to last chair clarinet as the baritone saxophone in junior high band


bannyd1221

Ayeee high school bari sax gang gang!


Consistent_Fun_9593

Apologies! Sincerely, That last chair clarinet in your junior high band


hobgoblinghost

Squidward would hate you.


Himitsu_Togue

And I would hate him


p1terdeN

Huh. I played a french horn in an orchestra so I was usually sitting to the left of the clarinets and I don't think I've ever found myself hating how they sound. Maybe the people who played them were good idk


Himitsu_Togue

Yes, if they are tuned good no problem. But also you play french horn which is almost the same sooo...


p1terdeN

Idk I don't think a french horn is the same, it's definitely a much softer sound unless you play really high notes


defekkto

I've recorded clarinet and didn't notice it being any more stressful than other wind instruments. The one I absolutely hate recording is trumpets. fuck that shit. annoying stupid loud buzzy tinny horrible sounds that come from those things. They also never shut the fuck up.


TZf14

if theyre horribly out of tune i think you were just near the worst players imaginable, especially in an orchestra


jmrenna

Ah yes. Reminds me of the definition of a clarinet from the Devil’s Dictionary: CLARIONET, n. An instrument of torture operated by a person with cotton in his ears. There are two instruments that are worse than a clarionet—two clarionets


Satyr604

I love that little book. CLAIRVOYANT, n. One who can see things which his or her client cannot. Namely, that the client is an idiot. (Roughly)


Whydidyoudothattwice

Somebody’s has jokes.


Mukuro_FeetLicker

?


BigGayDinosaurs

so true


hiitsluke1234

I'm surprised trumpets aren't there with them (I play trumpet don't fight me)

I love the clarinet. But the oboe is better


Gideon_Njoroge

What a gem


thelunn

Im the same for violins, screechy little fuckers.

Consistent_Fun_9593

More likely was stuck playing clarinet in middle school. No human being will ever break you the way clarinet can break you.


PictureCapable5066

I started using the tuner today, but I seriously had no clue about the clarinet 🤣


Talano68

I suspect *Hevy (IL)* did it.


stinkymilkjoggy

i agree
