You admit to being weird but you put forward this 'idea' to tell us all to 'get weird too?'

As for me I'm wired. It's a letter short.

Just don't go for a short in your wiring.





BTW, I'm proud to be weird!

Thank you all for not "beating up on me"... I REALLY want to learn, but as I said, after about an hour I get frustrated and just give up.



This forum is full of novice to experts, and we don't beat up on people very often at all

Plus everybody contributes what they can, and the novice can teach the expert a thing or two. I know when I was teaching sax, my students taught me a few things. Nobody knows it all.

Take things a bit at a time. Remember, you didn't learn jazz tunes on the guitar the first day, you probably started with those simple Mel Bay type exercises. Working with a DAW should be easier to learn than the guitar, because you will be taking a lot of theory and musical knowledge with you. You don't need to learn that all over again, just how to apply it to the sequencer.

I REALLY want to take my knowledge to the "next level", and now that I just retired from my day-gig, and have gone back to music full-time, I have even MORE motivation to continue that learning process.



Good for you. One nice thing for me about music, is that there is always something new to learn. And the more I learn, the more I find I need to know. It keeps it an adventure instead of something boring.

(Side comment to "Notes" Norton: I always read your posts on the Yahoo Groups, and you always take the time to give great comments...I don't always agree with them, but I ALWAYS read them because you have valid things to say, and agree or not, they're worth reading...)



Thanks for the kind words. And agreeing is not mandatory I am a loudmouth, opinionated, but always willing to help. One thing I often say is that there is more than one right way to make music. And while my way may be right for me, it is never going to be right for everybody.

By the way, PeterG, if you happen to read this, I can't thank you enough for all the hard work, creativity and obvious love of the product that goes into it. It shows...And it's appreciated.



I've got to add a big +1 to that one.

BiaB is a great product, and Peter and the people who work with him are always pleasant and provide great support. It's the reason why there is no real competition to BiaB. Keep up the great work PG!!!

And I don't always agree with what they do, but I appreciate all they do. The things that I disagree with are there for other people to enjoy.
