          Really? Neat. At least compared to the monotone I’ve got. I mean sometimes it harmonizes with the sound of electricity in wires or air moving through heat vents, and starts warbling, which is incredibly obnoxious, but that’s about it.

          yeah it’s weird. i haven’t had it looked at ever. i had a cold, played a gig where i had to set up directly in front of the drums instead of a few feet off to the side. got a migraine. next day, there was a tiny squeal up there. day after a little louder. it varies in intensity but it’s always there. same pitch. i measured it once and it’s an E12. I can tell when a recording is sped up or slowed down and the pitch hasn’t been corrected - the pitch just sounds wrong, because of that damn E12 i’ve got that no one else does.

          because of that, i’ve got keys i enjoy playing in and keys i hate, just because the key resonates in my sinuses (in a different tone) well

        Nope. I don’t care what inconvenience you think that is, having complete command over my favourite field of art means that would be worth it, you privileged git.

        This comes across the same way as Adam Neely’s “you don’t want perfect pitch bro, because you’ll eventually lose it”. Yeah, instead of having my career be a software tester, I could have had the world of music as a career , oh no.

          my dude i had perfect relative pitch before i got tinnitus. being able to hear a pitch doesn’t give you complete command over a field of art, literal blood sweat and tears does and it still only guarantees mediocrity. get over yourself.

            I don’t think I did anything but show myself as a humble and lowly person, why does my comment match this response?

              “my rude and offensive tone is now humble and lowly please don’t pick on me” dude if you want a career in music put in the fucking hours practicing instead of masturbating behind the keyboard
