I am Daz666. I write and record my music at home on my computer. I have always been into metal in a big way, but over the last few years I have found the metal scene to be going stale and it's rare that something new comes out and I like it. I will always be into metal though, you can't argue with the classics!!
A few years ago I started getting into industrial/ebm/aggrotech, and to this day I'm still impressed by a lot of new stuff being released in those genres.
I have always wanted to make music, and when I was younger I was in a few metal and punk bands. I played guitar and drums, and also picked up a little bit of bass playing ability, but came to realize I was never gonna be great at any of them... My skills were more computer related... So I started making industrial/ebm/aggrotech on my computer.
I think my computer musicianship has improved a lot over time and I know it will continue to improve as time goes on.
To date I have recorded ten full songs that by my high standards I deemed worthy of keeping and letting people hear... Some are more technologically advanced than others but personally I like them all and am proud to put my name to them.
I can throw bits together on guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards but I'm not great at any of them LOL
Mostly Mixcraft these days.
Does my computer count as hardware? LOL
