I will take on a serious name when i start releasing music, djcactus was more of a fuck around i have gameboys and nintendo ds.  Now more so i do random audio work for people in my free time, usually de-essing or light compressing on vocals.  It is what it is.

like i said, if i was releasing music out of my rig i would probably have a better name then this, its more of a handle at this point.

people trip on this kind of thing, dont be one of those people.

Cant you save patches in the editor though?  Computers kind of a big part of my set-up, if i could send some sysex messages to recall my patches i would be golden

Oh nice!  Ive been waiting to pull the trigger on one of these because i didnt want to be stuck trying to find an editor

Just make sure you blatantly steal someone's music and go on tours pretending to play it. Good luck!

right, it would be stupid to get a set with my keytar and totally forget to steal something to play, then the jig would totally be up.

only use tempos that are divisible by interpretive dance.  (this might actually be advice.)

I can't do this without making a gigantic incoherent list.

maxed out a credit card to fill out some studio essentials.  dont know when it will be paid off.
Worked like an animal
this year i should be back in the jam game and hopefully picking up at least one semester at some point if i got the extra cash.


this guy was cool for some stuff, easier on the hands these days, though i would rather use the classic, oddly enough.

Its true, you have already learned some theory without realizing it, but doing a little light reading couldn't hurt especially when you get into chord progression concepts and scale modulations.
