Changing the allophone used by native speakers for a given phoneme in a specific context usually will not change the meaning of a word but the result may sound non-native or unintelligible.

Another disadvantage is lower accuracy due to precipitation, where rain drops may vary the speed of sound.

Most DJ mixers now include a beat-counter which analyzes the tempo of an incoming sound source and displays its tempo in Beats Per Minute ( BPM ), which may assist with beatmatching analog sound sources.

" Slap style " may have influenced electric bass guitar players who, from the mid-sixties ( particularly Larry Graham of Sly and the Family Stone ), developed a technique called slap and pop that used the thumb of the plucking hand to hit the string, making a slapping sound but still letting the note ring, and the index or middle finger of the plucking hand to pull the string back so it hits the fretboard, achieving the pop sound described above.
