Thanks Peter.
On the "money" issue, I actually have been surprised (pleasantly) at how much I have been able to make so far with both digital sales, streaming, and sync licensing.
Not a fortune, but nothing to sneeze at, as they say. I love the little messages I get from SongTradr in my inbox.

It all tells me I am not wasting my time--at all. At my current growth rate, I can definitely see some respectable "mailbox money" coming in from just doing what I would do for fun anyway. It is totally possible to write songs that will get purchased and into films and ads with a home recording studio. AND--the BIAB sounds are awesome, especially if you mix them up with your own musicianship, and other tools such as midi, etc.
I love the feeling you get when you get a nice sync fee for the same song multiple times--and it didn't take a lot of time to write, and it is just out there waiting for the next person to find it.
I am having fun with all of this. A lot of fun. No doubt.
