Been messing around with music since the 4th grade, starting with the violin, then acoustic guitar, and now DAW, which I absolutely love!
I've always played by ear, but never mastered any single instrument.
Ableton Live, Massive, FM8, Presonus
Toshiba P75-A7200 i7 64 bit
Presonus AudioBox 22VSL
M-Audio Keystation 49
Mr. Bill's Tunes. Google him... he's truly a modern-day musical genius!
Tough one, but I "think" Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin.
Early on... The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa; then B-52's, Talking Heads, The Cars, now Singularity, Mr. Bill, and Virtual Riot. I turned my 16 year old daughter onto Kyle a year ago, and she turns me onto Pentatonix and Dave Days. That's what I love about music... there isn't anything static about it!
I still need to work on it...
I'm a Realtor... I help mostly first time buyers purchase a home, or I help the military move to and from our area.
