I'm grateful for the process too, but I do have my regrets. Could've been a much smoother process and less of a burden on my bank account if I wasn't so eager to purchase new hardware.

@@IAMLXGEND well even that least you had the finances good health starts with being grateful even if you can think of a million reasons why you shouldn't be.

Again. No one is not being grateful. Where did I say I wasn't grateful? I said: I am grateful for the process. I did not find any reasons as to why I shouldn't be. I quite literally said "I am grateful" not "i am not grateful". All I am saying is I have regrets. Regrets does not = I'm not grateful. Regrets = regrets. Things you would do differently. Just because you say you would want to do something differently in the past doesn't mean you're not grateful for things happening as they did. Thanks.

@@IAMLXGEND lessons in life

Took me back too lol been a while!

Nice

Please gift me $100 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Send me $100 and i will send them to you.

Give me $100.

Yep!

thank you for watching!

Absolutely and this is exactly why I thought it would be good to make this video. Everyone starts somewhere and everyone progresses so long as you invest that time and energy!

Yea. I can relate.

A raffle is too much energy.

@@IAMLXGEND yeahhh you right gone head just throw em my way I’m gone send a email.

Lemme get $100.

$100. One is busted.

Incorrect. You can sing softly and still be intelligible. Mumbling = No regard for pronunciation. Singing softly = singing softly. You can sing soft while still being perfectly communicated. Your comment implies that any soft singing = mumbling. So does they mean every singer needs to belt their absolute loudest just to prove they can “sing”? Music is about dynamics. You can’t have interesting music without the ability to approach both soft and loud. No dynamics = boring and predictable music. Soft singing is soft singing. Mumbling is Mumbling. This is coming from someone who despises mumble rap.

Not yet

I honestly forgot I even made this.

@@IAMLXGEND it's a fire 😭🔥 (It was supposed to be "it's fire", "it's a fire" will do) 💜

Plus, you can’t train GPT’s on data on the free version

Thank you 🙏🏾

If I can have $100. Sure.

Let me get $100 and they're yours. Also one is busted. Lol.

Send me money and I will.

Do it!

$1200

I plan on it, I knew how to command a crowd and it was very fun. One of the main things I've been missing

I know so many people that started on a Snowball or Yeti lol. Truly the beginner's favorite Mic brand. And yea getting in there and making mistakes is what it's all about. Putting in those hours and practice may feel like its going nowhere in the moments but over time you can really see how far you've gone in terms of skill level and setup wise. Continue to give yourself that credit! Here's to 4 more years for you! (and many more)

Wild! Lol yea it's crazy the things we'll do (sometimes necessary) to push the dream forward. But well worth it. As far as losing skill or remaining the same, I'd say it's like riding a bike. The more you spend time away from it, the more rusty you'll get but I don't think your skill will drop. Definitely can't improve though without putting that time in. But once you're able to pick it back up it comes right back to you. In terms of balancing my 9-5 with music, I'm honestly still trying to figure out that balance. Giving up one of my rest days of the weekend is definitely something I know I'll have to do more of because I also am usually mentally, sometimes physically, too drained after work to do anything music related. But I do know that at some point I'll have to give at least 2 hours to that a few days a week if I want to make any progress. My plan for now is to take 2-3 days a week to go to the studio and work on music after work. I get home around 5:30, so music work from 6-8 or 9. That way there are still some days I can rest after work, some days I get music stuff done and the weekends are purely for relaxation and recharging.

Very nice and happy you're inspired. That's the reason I make these videos!

Thank you for listening to my story :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hahahaha, it is truly the path for a lot of us, for real.

Definitely a night and day difference, I can relate. And I remember the days when FL was still called "Fruity Loops"! They don't know nothing about that lol.

This is exactly why I wanted to post this. I can’t lie, Even I got I inspired during the filming of this because it’s been so long since I’ve taken a look back at where I’ve come from and how far I’ve gone. All the failures and progress. It’s wild when you really sit and think about it all. And yes that Dell was a workhorse for those first 10-ish years for sure lol. We put that poor thing through hell 🤣

@@IAMLXGEND Limewire and all like you mentioned 🤣 And it is crazy looking back remembering every step and roads taken. Best believe I'll having this video in heavy rotation. Again, thank you for this.

They’ve changed a LOT. It was crazy to go back and see the growth

I am.

Very nice

☀️☀️🤘🏽🤘🏽

You know it

Of course. Right after you let me have $100.

Yes. They are. I was a “beginner” when I bought them. These speakers are more than a decade old. Good for you ☀️

Tell that to my dead PC.

I am.

My KRKs and budget Genelec cost the same lol. If anything, I spent $50 less on my Rokits. The LG display I'm sure was cheaper though.

If you give me money. Yes.

Yea, a flex on being in debt. Lol. All of this was financed on credit cards and paid off over like… 5 years.

As a former PC user for over a decade, it doesn’t. But thanks for your opinion!

@IAMLXGEND I worked as a Mac tech and audio engineer on Mac from 1999 until 2007. I can't count how many critical failures I've seen in just that time alone. We lost nearly 100k in session time. I have NEVER had a critical failure on PC in 30 years. I still have hp boxes that still run sessions from 2001 lol. Let's not talk about iphones... built in obsolescence and forced upgrades. Fuck that. Enjoy losing your licenses every few years as well. Mac users are brainwashed cults

Sure. Gimme money.

All you need is a keyboard, a computer and some headphones. If you have that, you can make good music. Anything beyond that would strictly be things you want to build on. Not necessarily NEED. Also depends on if you plan to record your own vocals, then you'll obviously need a microphone. But you can get a mic from Blue Microphones for relatively cheap.
