I'll reply to this soon. 2012 was very negative for me and I learnt a lot about myself.

demanded the most growth mentally, physically and spiritually..
bigger the darkness, the bigger the light afterwards...
can't wait for this year to unfold..
Re: Then end of 2012 - What have you learned?
I learned that I can't live without making music. Sold all my gear last summer and while I don't miss my setup (the workflow wasn't the greatest), I miss the buzz you get from creating new music.
No idea how to fund a new setup though.

Bought a pair of turntables, a mixer and a bunch of vinyl records. The rest went on living expenses and stuff.Hades wrote:

Re: Then end of 2012 - What have you learned?
sell the vinyl and the mixer if making your own music is more important to you than mixing other people's music.
I hadn't paid for music for years when I was building my studio,
it was only when my studio was like 80% finished that I decided I had spare money for vinyls and turntables.
or get an extra job.
it's an expensive hobby.

Re: Then end of 2012 - What have you learned?
it's a myth that you need a lot of expensive gear to create music. one of my most highly respected professional peers has hardly owned any gear at all but still manages to produce excellent tracks with whatever materials are availableBarfunkel wrote:I learned that I can't live without making music.
