great
for me, I'm using Cubase, and Reason.
btw, you said "in your spare time" ,
does that mean, you have a dayjob other than music (what is it btw?),
and only treat music as a side-job, sort of?
any consideration or factors, to not pursue music as a full-time career?..
(seems to be the 'dilemma' , even for the most passionate-musicians/composers..sadly)
thanks.
I used to use Cubase too, I like it a lot for recording instruments.
I'm actually a full-time student right now, so priority one is schoolwork and getting that degree. I think one factor that will ultimately stand between myself and a full-time career in music is the opportunity I've been given through a really prestigious academic institution (one that, sadly enough, has a rather unspectacular music department) to get one of those mundane, high-paying jobs or enroll in an equally prestigious graduate or pre-professional program (law, business, etc)... to end up with another one of those mundane, high-paying jobs.
On the plus side, I see that as a way to build up resources to make music a very dynamic hobby for myself that I can keep up with all throughout my life. I can't wait until I have my own place so that I can strip down a room and turn it into a full-blown studio. Thanks for the interest! I haven't been to your sites yet but I'll be sure to check them out soon
