I guess I'm definitely considered by most to be just old, as December13 last time I was fraggin 52 years of non-age, but technically unable to escape facts of history, I can't escape that I was born in52, only two years after Leo Fender first made a "regular"guitar into an "electrified" instrument.
And of course i do try to connect as much astigmatism to this as I can, so's folks will think I'm cool&stuff.
Since my Dad was a quartet singer(gospel/bluegrass, back then there was only radio) before WWll, and was also a piano tuner, like his Dad and brothers and uncles from Arkansas, but upon returning home from the war, he resumed tuning pianos in churches all over sw Kentucky, and I was 9 when his injuries finally claimed his life by having formed a tumor in his brain where shrapnel was deemed by surgeons unsafe to remove.
I had tones, intervals of each and every flavor drilled and re-drilled into my brain as a tot, I crawled between his legs and other areas on the floor as he worked, when home could be the site of his work,
I suppose I was destined to do something "tonal" based ...music most likely was the candidate.
But since I do remember this was not "life story time", (I can't seem to paint the picture I wanna paint with much less information) I do hope readers will overlook my inequity this time.
But anyway I have just built my first pc.
I have built from Asus p4p800d mb, a very nice sounding Digital Audio Workstation
I am using two raptors in raid with the Intel facility onboard, anybody know why they put that Via chip on there?
Anyway I was advised to use the Intel route for raid( I had at least 2-3 to choose from)
But Ableton Live and Garritan Personal Orchestra, are my two favorites, about which i can go on for some time, but shall not
but I have watched all thru my work years as technology was passing me by(sortof) and jumped on the chance to retire early when my doc told me the reason i have been in such agony at work was a legitimate one , 3 ruptured disks... Since I have not been working,1-2 years, I have studied computers and DAW's here at home, online, and anyway possible.
Anyway having been a musician all my life and knowing from reading that someday the things which only the wealthy could do would someday be available to those with proper computer facilities... for audio recording I mean...(digital)
So I still wanna be a successful artist (ND) would be fine, i am not partial, and I do not care too much really for any fame, but thats me I guess in a nutshell.
anyone who will listen and tell me why they think my chances are so poor to complete my goal, its not worth my effort, can please do so by means of this link where my music(some) can be sampled
