@SkyzykS and @batman730, thank you very much! Certainly a blast watching a great show, fortunately I’m a band geek and enjoy the work
Composing itself it a stressful process no doubt, sometimes it moves along and others I wonder if I’ll ever finish the project, sometimes hours go by entering and deleting notes, and a long day might finish with nothing but frustration to show for it. But, as with anything, sometimes it takes figuring out what doesn’t work to lead to what does, and the finished product is always worth it.
Also, what is the barebone basics one needs to cut decent demos (assume they have Cubase with the drum machine plug in). Hardware & soft please if you have the time.
first off I’m not a troll. second I have been doing starting strength since late august and plan on sticking with it till February. third this is the off topic section of the forum and I just like to ask random questions some times.
I figured posting something inflammatory would finally get you to return to one of your topics. A great courtesy at this point would be to reply/repsond to those who took the time to do the same for you.
I’ve noticed that your topics here are usually related to adult life, forward looking type things, like what major, what do you do, how much do you make, this dream job topic, and the like.
Do you have some apprehensions with these things or is it just curiosity?
I am working on what I set out to do when I was 5, however it did not come with a lot of hardship, sacrifice, and tough decisions.
I never understood why someone would want a boring 9 to 5 life until I had one of those jobs. While I was comfortable financially, I was terribly bored and felt guilty that I wasnt living up to my potential. I saw the writing on the wall: while that path would be relaxing and more fun, it would be less fruitful and fulfilling in the long run. Believe me, I was nervous before I chose to let that life go, but now that I am in the game I can not only see people treating me differently, but I see more opportunities opening. I also feel I am living up to my potential.
If there is something you really want to do, I say get a day job, and take a few years to come up with a solid execution plan. When you feel you have everything in place, go for it like a starving tiger.
Oh that’s what you meant, you do background music for turtle races at halftime. The music that is heard while patrons relieve themselves in latrines and stand in line for another helping of nachos and beer.I was going to guess jingles for commercials, but what you do is wayyy cooler. If you would’ve provided this detail earlier I could’ve avoided that brief phase of jealousy that I felt. To be clear, my dream job wouldn’t entail NFL halftime shows, and I’m shocked that it is anyones dream job in the first place.
Remember though, there is always tomorrow, maybe you can move up to writing elevator soundtracks for two story establishments (thank god for handicapped accessibility regulations), at least that way people will be forced to listen to your compositions al biet for seconds at a time.
I don’t know much about him, but Dan Blizeran appears to be living the millennial version of Hef.
Since I have ZERO rhythm, like literally couldn’t skip until college, and I am tone deaf, my musical aspirations have been squashed.
And I had an undiagnosed inherent disorder that prevented me from pursuing professional athletics after college.
My dream job has less to do with what I am doing, and more to do with fitting the needs that I have, which are:
The ability to compete; and be the best at what I do (@anon71262119, I suppose I still struggle with pride.)
An agreeable compensatory package that rewards me for my additional effort.
If that means I continue down the path I am on, fine. If not, I’m sure I’ll just sell all my belongings, leave everything and get a job on wall street, executing trades by day and doing blow in club bathrooms by night.
