I am going for a music major and multimeadia for my minor at UCI. There are a lot of music makers on this board. I was wondering how many of you out there are trying to have somewhat of a career in some kind of music making....ie.... film.... tv....games...etc. How long have you been making music....... and what kind of equipment (hardware/software) do you regularly use..... and do any of you play any instruments? Just curious |

I just do it to play around, not serious as in a career. I just use my computer (mostly Fruity Loops), I can't play any instruments, and I've been doing it for a few months. |

I go to the Berklee College Of Music. Its in boston, and covers all music types. You can learn jazz, classical, pop, electronic, film scoring, producing, even music therapy etc. Im doin a duel major in Composition and Synthesis. I played drums for 4 years, then i sold them to buy various peices of equipment, which i used until this last year. Ive been writting music for the past 5 years. 3 years of theory classes. I have since puicked u p the bass, which ive played for 3 years now, and is my principle instrument at berklee. Ideally id like to make music and release, and live off that... but of course that probably wont happen... seeing as the music i write isnt the kind of music you get big bucks for. I have several options. I could continue to grad school and get a doctorate in Composition, and i could teach... or i could work as an audio enginner for a label etc. Or i could be a producer. There are many options really... and in music, you just gotta go with what comes your way, since its so hard to plan the future. I think it would be nice to get a doctorate, teach, and write/release/preform my stuff on my own time. :) btw... all my current tracks are done on Reason 1.0. Im currently in the process of selling all my old hardware, and im goin for a soft setup. Logic, Reason 2, Csound, and an Audio Interface (the only hardware piece) |

Sounds like you got your act together Zeus... I mainly use Reason 1.0 as well... untill the recent upgrade...which rocks it! And when I not using software (Logic...Peak..Reason..SoundEdit..Reaktor)... I mainly sequence all my hardware and everything through my KorgMS2000...or with my EM-1. I like the old skool sequencer in my MS2000. Most of my hardware consists of retro gear.... or new gear trying to be retro. I have a classical music background.... and mainly play piano and the sax. And have been making electronic music for roughly 6 years.... I havent gotten up the nerve to post anything online yet..... but I am engenieering a website where I will be able to sell my first album for a reasonable price... 8 or 9 bucks for a 70 min album.... but I am sending demos to rephlex and mu in the mean time.... with high hopes when I have something online.. I will be sure to post a link here |

your dad dissed you mylittlesister....ouch No problem afxNUMB.... I dont really like discussions where it leads to one person agianst the whole board.... and some people here are not humble enough to accept other peoples ideals and just let it go.... it makes me upset to see that.... seems arguments like that can get very personal on BBS's, but especially here.... I just think its nice to have someone to be humble enough to act unbiased as possible to even out the discussion........ at least that is what I try to do |

I write with Fruity Loops. I've been doing that for probably 4 months or so. I play guitar. I have a Mexican Fender Strat and a Marshall half stack and a few pedals. I've played for 8 years. I play bass guitar as well. I have a shitpiece Squier bass and a Peavey combo. I've been playing bass for about 1.5 years. |
