Sitting or Standing When Playing?

  1. 1. Are you normally sitting or standing when you use your keyboard?



Recommended Posts

So here's another Earth Shattering Useless Poll.

 

It has to do with posture.  Do you sit or stand when you're playing at your keyboard?  If you stand at gigs and sit at home then choose option three and post an explanation in the thread.

 

Also, if you sit, what do you sit on?  A proper piano bench?  A bar stool?  A drummer's throne?  A kitchen chair?

 

Enquiring minds wanna know ;)

Actually right now my vote was also standing also because space constraints force me to keep the keyboards at waist height and so far I haven't been able to find a decent padded stool that gives me enough height to play from a seated position.

 

So far I've tried a low office stool that's simply too low to play with correct posture and and cheap wooden bar stool I bought at Walmart that gives me proper height but jams up my butt like a Ginsu knife :P

 

Right now I'm looking around for either a nice padded bar stool or a good quality drummer's throne to take a load off of my feet while I play and give me a little more comfort at the keys. ;)

I have a really bad back issue, so the latest thing I have done is modify my computer keyboard pullout. My desk is a U shape and the open width is perfect for the P1. I pull the computer keyboard slide out and have drilled two holes at the front edge corners to put a dowel in.

 

This way I can have the P1 right in front of me and the P1 can't slide out because of the dowels. I can have the top of the P1 rest against the desk top, this gives it a bit of angle so it is easier to see the display on long programming sessions.. Hope this makes sense.

How do I post pics?

 

 

Use the "More Reply Options" to upload the file.

 

and then preview the message and then copy the link location of the resulting thumbnail and then you can enclose the url in %7Boption%7D tags.

 

use a /img inside square brackets as the closing tag.

 

I can't show you a literal example without actually invoking the tags myself.

 

Basically the syntax is :

 

square bracket img close square bracket image file url square bracket /img close square bracket

 

all without spaces and the url has to be plain text, not a hyperlink.

BTW Scott, is there any chance of putting together a quick FAQ or user's manual for the forum and its functions?  This is the second or third time we've had to explain media attachments in a thread and there are other features people here probably never heard of like content filtering by forum and how to turn on email notify for followed threads.

 

There's probably other stuff we haven't even figured out how to ask for yet.

The help is pretty lame.  I'd advise moving the link to the top of the main page.

 

Also there is absolutely nothing in there about %7Boption%7D or tags.

 

All in all it reads like it was written by a Casio Documentation Engineer :P

 

I still think a short, well written, plain English FAQ sticky would be a thousand times more useful than that RTFM Help page :P
