Help spending money!

Quote:My problem is time, I dont have much of it and I think in terms of using something that would not take that much time "tweaking". I feel for you there brinda. I would suggest from my experience that you take the long term view and be realistic that to grow and master the great new stuff, its going to take work over time. That's not a bad thing, its just fighting the urge for instant gratification. I have pieces of equipment in my studio that I could say I barely know half of what it does, but when I get a block of time to explore the other half, it always pays off in spades in terms of a better sound, more creative places to go, and just plain personal growth.

And it was just because they were lazy! It was my ex's mess, but he works for himself so I was easier to prey on. Just a single woman working hard and they froze every penny I had, even my checking account. When they returned my money I had enough to put a down payment and pay closing costs on my condo! So good for Wesley too!

ArkJackTrue! I had been concentrating on instruments and Sonar and I think I know prob. only 5-10% of each one. I have a Korg and still have no idea what that baby can truly do.I know what you mean, I barely walk but want to run like Springsteen when I should sit and compose like Mazz! ( I wish , ha ha )

Quote:[/quoteso no matter what VSTs or VIs you have, you will have to spend the time to understand controllers, etc. For someone like you who already composes well, the next step is to have a library of good sounds.... and then be willing to spend the time to work with them. It's not impossible. I was thinking yesterday, that about 3 years ago I didn't even know what a mic preamp was. Now I'm producing near broadcast quality stuff. I've outlined what I had to learn to do it. You can do it too.warmlyHummin'bird Oh trust me, whatever time I have I use it on music, my family calls me "antisocial". Hum, what's a mic preamp? What do you use it for?

Oh.... I can better than imagine what they put you through under those circumstances. I get about 5 or 6 cases a year like that.... one new one yesterday. I remember a client with different problem but still in up to his neck with IRS .... sitting across the desk, says "can't we just let them shoot me and be done with it?"ArkJack

I told them I was going to find a sugar daddy and quit working! They told me I couldnt do that.... I found help doing a google one night when I came across a website about this person that sadly lost his parents to suicide because of them and he had swored to help anybody against them!
