Yeah, I give Yadgyu a hard time too. He seems to have more passion for making money than for making music. Maybe I should think of the money side more often. Nah, that wouldn’t work for me.
Money is not a bad thing. I just do not see the point of submitting music to companies if one is not interested in making money. It takes a great deal of time and energy to categorize, edit, re-edit, and contact companies.
If you are making music just to please yourself or friends & family, good. But I do not understand why someone would spend so much time buying equipment, paying for studio time, making music and sending it to companies without getting money.
I enjoy making music and I love money. I am not afraid to admit it. I want to make millions of dollars from making music. I may not want to do music for the rest of my life, but I want to make more money from my songs than I would make at a 9 to 5. I do not think this makes me bad or insincere.
Ultimately, I would like to own my own publishing company and have a staff to help me make money. I believe that the money generated from music can be wonderful.
That really doesn’t make sense to me. Why have a destination if the journey is more important?
If wandering around and discovering things is what is important, why make a plan to end up in a certain spot or position? The destination greatly exceeds the journey for me. I do not care about the journey. I just want to end up at the top.
But to each his own. I hope that you guys here find whatever it is that you seek.
Yeah man! Dude, I could never hire real players. They would be much too expensive, but I was trying to give Yadgyu a hard time since he talks cash-money shi*t most of the time
I wish I could play keys! I’m a guitar player for the last 20 years or so, and I think there are many keys players that wish they could play the guitar, so I think it’s just a case of “the grass is greener!”
Yea, wish I could play keys better (I’m a guitar player looking for that ultimate midi converter). Fortunately Robin (my wife) plays keys and has a great ear!
I play just keys but have been thinking about adding guitar for quite a while now. I don’t really know when I would have time to actually learn it tho!

Yes, absolutely! I only meant to imply simple instrumentation such as guitars or basses and not a DB or Vln. I don’t use those. Especially not in an orchestral setting.
But some sort of analog instrument is surely in the cards for most prolific composers, right? Like actually playing the keys (which I don’t, incidentally! ) or a guitar.
I am surprised no one has posted in this section. I think it is interesting to see what people are using out there. I myself only use my PC for hardware. Everything else is software-based. I just like the strictly digital setup because it allows me to save things easier and to be portable. Being confined to just my own studio is not appealing at all
You don’t even have an audio interface? What about analog instruments? Being confined is not appealing, but having the tools you need to make great tracks is essential in any home studio. Here’s my gear list: http://www.fullbirdmusic.com/blog/2010/01/complete-gear-list/

I think (or hope) we all learn along the way it’s about the journey, not the destination. It took me many decades to get that.

Because to have a destination means to have a journey.
Now we’re on the same page Fullbird. Yeah, I play everything from the keys (in real time).
Also, it never hurts to add “real” instruments. I’d love to hire real string players to add to my MIDI strings, but it’s just too expensive.
I am adding the new East West “Hollywood Strings” to my arsenal this week though.
Anyway, the more options instrument-wise the better.

Do you have a website? Cheers!

Hmm… I don’t know Fullbird, but I’ve heard some pretty amazing tracks with just Logic Pro and the EWQL orchestra samples.
As far as samples go, they’re just as “real” to me as “real” instruments. Just part of the broad spectrum of sound.
