What is the correct (or usual) way of using moveable slides while playing?
- Know what adjustment will be needed and do it before playing the note.
- Hear that the note being played needs adjustment, and then make the change.
A similar question could be asked for 'lipping' notes into tune.

KNOW (see) what the next note is BEFORE you have to play it.
PLAY the next note 'on time' and 'in rhythm'.
Oh ya, watch the conductor - they set what is 'on time'. |

I'm sure I do both. I do it preemptively for known problem notes. The default move gets me close then I decide if additional adjustment needs to be made. There there is always going to be times when you get surprised and need to correct after the fact.

I’ve never tried a horn with a pitch finder, but that’s ☝️☝️ sort of what I’ve always thought.

The whole thing about your ears being a 'pitch finder' is getting a bit weird in the way posts sometimes do on TH... People Having a way to adjust the pitch doesn't eliminate the need for ears, you just adjust the pitch differently. It's not a magical device that circumvents the need to hear the pitch, it's just in one situation, you're adjusting with your embouchure/tongue and the other is with the slide.

Ok, I don’t know if this is getting “TH weird” or not, but point taken, and again, I’ve never used one. I also realize there are some fine players who use them, I’m just not sure how valuable they might be. Plus, just my opinion, but adding mass to a horn not designed for it might also alter the horn in ways many people would not care for. I know that from personal experience.
