Thread: Do musicians have critical failures like dancers?
I was thinking about this the other day. Often when playing music, the musicians will get "out of sync" for a flourish, and it just sounds hideous. I cringe as much as I do when I fall during a performance. (At this point I'm assuming the out of sync flourishes happens to everyone)
Then it occurred to me - perhaps this is a critical failure for a musician. I don't know about other people, but I hear it quite often.. Which isn't suprising since everyone is often playing their highest instrument.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? It might be interesting to test it out. Get twonovice musicians, then have them both pick up a traz and play rock (Not SW!, ick ick ick) then switch to a slitherhorn and play rock again. Use a macro for it so the performances are the same. Compare the number of clashing measures on each attempt. Novice musician is an easy point to have both at the same skill, but any level could do. Really they don't even need to be of the same skill, as long as one of them is using their highest instrument.

Wow...I thought it was lag too. Would be cool (not really..but you know what I mean) if that is a musicians "fall". NewJedi...is this something you can ask??
It most certainly is. I'll post a question about it in the Correspondent forum. I don't know if I'll get a response as quickly as usual, though; most of the devs are winding down a bit for the holidays.
