Right on, jazzman. Everything I know about computers I learned in self defense--and I've spent a LOT of time defending myself. I'd be afraid to self-audit my time that way. Really, what's the ROI on hours spent at the PC versus minutes of music actually produced?

All I can say is, I'm between two places right now so don't really have quality time to spend on computer music. But I've got a little practice amp set up where I'm moving and I'm getting in a lot of time on my new fretless bass that I know I wouldn't otherwise. Still not music production, but I feel like I'm accomplishing something.
