Am I just getting old?
2000-08-24 by Subala D
Don't get me wrong guys, I LOVE making music! Unfortuantely I've been away from everthing these past 5 or 6 years and now I'm setting up my studio again. This time, I've updated my computer to a new G4sp and invested in LAMG and SoundDiver. I'm ready to roll!! Atleast, I thought I was. I'm having tremendous difficulty getting past the technology and into the music. I operated a midi studio for over 15 years, previously on Atari. I'm not a midi idiot, but boy, I'm having great problems getting the juices flowing. Could it be that I don't "really" want this anymore? Or has this stuff actually become so much more complex in the past 5 years, that I'm having unrealistic expectations about how long the learning curve should slow me down. I'm finding it harder to simply concentrate and work through all of the problems and issues related to all the new software and gear. I've always operated on technology's cutting edge and I'm used to learning new gear, but this time feels different. Is this stuff just that more complicated or have I simply lost my internal (and maybe external) inspiration? Or maybe, I'm just getting old? Any helpful advise welcomed. Subala
