Right now the future of music is online. You need to learn digital recording. With my PC right now I can record anything digitally with no hiss and burn it to a CD with crystal clear sound.

In music it is all about exposure. The more people who hear your music the more chance they will buy it. It is that simple.

Sounds like you need to figure out what you want to do and just go do it. If you need the training, get it.

Regardless of what you do you will have to pay your dues. If you love your music and want to share it with others you will do what it takes.

I understand my businesses and can show people how to sell ideas, services, and products. But it is up to you to decide what you want to do with your life.

I am not a musician. But if I were I would study the industry and the trade publications and then decide what the market wanted. Then I would provide it.

Or I would go to school, learn the trade and then whore myself out to the industry.

Either you decide or someone else does. It is simple really, kind of like life.
Thanks for the advice over the past couple days, Eric


I know you THINK you can record digitally and have no hiss with "crystal clear" sound but trust me -- you cannot. I record digitally as well and if either of us were to achieve crystal clear sound it would be because somebody snuck into our house at night and engineered+mastered the tracks himself. Unless you have training or experience with mic placement, and have quality mics, as well as top-notch amplifiers and perfect equalization, there will be dull noise going on. You may not be able to hear it on your computer speakers but listen through a Studio Monitor and you'll have no doubt
